I consider winter runners to be a teensy bit out of norm. We’re talking cold rainy winter days here and it’s no joke to put on layers of clothing. I am just glad we’re in California weather which means the weather is still bearable compared cold in the East Coast. But still, it’s been so raining these past few days, and we expect  a nonstop rainy days for the next few days and it doesn’t sound fun to run in the rain. It shocked me even when I decided to get my sneakers on and run with the crowds last Sunday. It was my first run in 2017 and granted, it was unexpectedly fantastic for 15k run and hot chocolate towards the end..

    • Thank you, David! I’m sure you’ll turn those grapefruits into tasty dishes. The 15k was indeed not easy but it was fun and turned out to be a good memory for me 🙂
