Saturday started with the TNT group training run where the team performed fantastic!
These individuals are growing as runners and far exceeding my expectations.
Full marathoners got in 18 miles, while the half-marathoners ran 9 miles in warmer than normal temps.
Our team in Nashville were also greeted with warmer than normal conditions, but that didn't stop them. I can't wait to hear their stories.
This was followed with a couple of hours of watching the NFL Draft, which is as exciting as watching paint dry.
The weather was suppose to be sunshine and hot, but Mother Nature had a different idea and we received rain, hail and wind.
But that didn't stop a few neighbors from starting a fire and opening a few BEvERages in the evening.

Since we're having the start of much warmer temps I went out for a lunchtime run.
I was running like a gazelle with every stride landing in the right spot.
I was even having guilt feelings about running so good, WTF?
I thought it was just being out in the sunshine and warmer temps, that makes me want to run.
Well, I found out why I was doing so well, I made the turn to return to work and that's when I was hit by a 30 mph wind gust.........
No wonder those Olympic records aren't allow with wind.

Facebook has taken over the world! Okay, not the entire world but a large portion.
I received a Facebook notification from one of my neighbors that a few of them will be hanging out and having beers and even a fire on Saturday evening, since the weather is suppose to be warm.
Now pre-Facebook, this type of event just happened. One neighbor would be outside and open a beer, then the sound would start a wave of neighbors coming outside.
Ah, the good old days.
I should actually get to see some legs tomorrow morning for our TNT group run. The temps are going to be in the 60s at the start of our run!
I can tell that everyone's attitude changes with the sun beaming down on them.
Boy are they in for a surprise when the temps jump to 80º and they still have miles to run....
Should I drive by with the car A/C on?????????
Why am I still in Michigan when my TNT team is in Nashville?
Just like every other sector in this country, the charitable organizations have been taking a beating due to the economy.
They've had to cut back on expenses and one of those was coach's travel.
So my team is basking in the sunshine of warmer temps of Nashville getting ready to conclude their TNT journey.
I miss them already.........

There's a saying in Michigan that if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes.
Today was that day for out lunchtime run. We went through the gambit of weather in a short 4 mile run. The run started with me regretting that I didn't have my sunglasses, but they had forecast rain the entire day.
How hard is it being a weatherperson, just say there's a chance of sunshine or partly cloudy, hey how about scatter rain?
Okay the sunshine didn't last and the winds started picking up, which is always a bad sign in the Spring.
Have you ever been out on a run and saw he rain clouds in the distance and actually saw rain? Well that was next on our plate, wind and rain. Now rain is no problem because you can put your head down and keep going, but what about hail?????
This was the first time in my twenty-five plus years of running that I've run in HAIL!!!!
Hail does a job on a person with no hair on their skull to protect them. I could have cried and no one would have known, since the hail was mixed in the rain. The other thing is that you instinctively start to run faster to get back to shelter. The faster you run, the harder the hail hit you, this is stupid. Oh, I'm sorry, this is Michigan.
Five minutes later as we made it back to work, the sun came back out.......
