last run






So I've given up trying to run outside until the spring. I had fantasies (see my illustration above) of being one of those avid runners who runs outside in all seasons, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I used to have a bit of asthma, and I've found it comes back when I run in cold air. Rather than go back on inhalers, I think I'm going to stick to treadmill running until it gets warm again.

Unfortunately in Toronto, this means probably not for another five or six months. :-( Sometimes I do envy you Californians! Canadian winters last waaaaaaaay too long.

NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow. So does OVFF. Instead of trying to keep up with my Blatherings over the weekend, I'm going to be writing my NaNoWriMo novel, so it's unlikely I'll be posting much (if anything) until sometime next week.

Going trick-or-treating with Annie and Sara tonight!
