The weather is finally starting to turn the corner and I view that as something of a mixed blessing. Winter is fine for running, because the dirt is nice and frozen and as long as it isn't a sheet of ice, you can get good traction. Early Spring just plain sucks. The ticks are out in force and I've already found one (a deer tick!) crawling on me. I went to the hunting supply and they were out of deet. Lame-ass yankee hunters - they'd have Erlichiosis in a heartbeat if they lived in Missouri. Anyways, I'm anxious for things to dry out and for Spring to get done with the mud part.
