Is He Crazy???

If you think taking a 45 minute run at 8 o'clock at night in 20 degree weather (if you're lucky) with a foot of snow on the ground sounds like fun then you wouldn't think he's crazy.  But for the rest of us "normal" folks, HE'S CRAZY!!  Yes, Andy runs about 4 times a week at night in the snow and absolutely loves it!  He tells me how people just slow down and stare at him while driving by in their cars in disbelief that someone would actually be outside (in shorts) running.  Honestly, I would probably do the same thing!  When he comes home he has the biggest smile on his face and says, "That was so awesome!"  He has icicles hanging from his leg hairs and this time his socks were completely frozen around his ankles!!  In this picture he actually wore a sweatshirt over his long-sleeved shirt, usually he doesn't because he gets too hot.  Don't ask.  I don't understand it myself!  He is probably the only person I know that isn't sick of winter yet.  Every time it starts snowing (which is about every other day) he tells me how he can't wait to go running in fresh snow.  As I look outside and see that it is snowing right now I just have to smile because I know Andy will come home from work and be so excited for his run tonight.  Babe, I think you're pretty awesome and I love that it makes you so happy to run in the snow!!

Andy you are CRAZY!! Here we are sitting in Vegas crying because we are cold! I get the chills just looking at those pictures! I think we are starting to enjoy our mild winters and warm summers, don't know if we could move back to Utah!
Julianne, I look forward to reading your blog and seeing what is happening in your world. Take care!

Love,
Kim

We have plenty of "crazies" in Cedar too!!! They seriously amaze me. I've tried, and just can't. Now, I've joined Golds and gotten pretty hooked on spinning....just until the snow is gone :) Is Andy running the SLC marathon in April??
