March Run Log

March running has been cold and snowy and rainy.  Spring is coming very slowly to NE Ohio this year.  The daffodils are up & the magnolia has buds...but it is still cold.  Track has started and it's been super windy & ugh.  We have our first meet on Tuesday ~ and the high jump & long jump pits have yet to be set up..."We'll get it done with the weather breaks."  nice.

Two trips this month...7th grade Columbus and 8th grade DC.  Did not run for THREE days.  oh my.
