Now it finally does feel like spring.. 60s today and more days like this one on the horizon. For the first time this year the 4 mile loop in the park didn't feel cold in places (there are lakes.. and it gets windy.. ).

Everyone else makes new year's resolutions, I'm making a spring one.. need to start waking up earlier and running in the park before work.. I can't run at the gym anymore.. it's too booring.

And with first days of spring come the first annoyances at the park!

- People in groups who take up the entire trail whether they need it or not and runners have to run on the rocks and dead leaves on the side barely avoiding breaking legs in the process.
- Bikers who are too chicken to go on a *real* biking trail and instead zoom at way-too-high speeds on the walking/running trails.. dudes, there are *real* trails where you'll never see families with kids.. go speed there. (They're in the same park, really, I bike there all the time).
- Friends who see you running and get offended that you won't stop to chat.. want to chat, give me a call.. don't interrupt my exercise..

I'm sure I'll have a longer list after my run tomorrow..
