    @girlinahat I love the photos and am a bit envious! I agree with you that a damp cold feels colder than a dry cold. I think I read someone here saying the opposite a couple of days ago though.

    @ddmom0811 are you going on one of those cruise ships with a track on the upper level? If so I want to see the run on Strava to see the ovals shifting as the ship steams ahead.

    That was me. I can say from my experience 40 in Phoenix feels more like Wisconsin 50 than WI 40. I wouldn't say Wisconsin is damp but tends to have more humidity (or maybe its dew point I don't know) than Phoenix.

    And you know your from Wisconsin if you say "ope sorry" when someone else runs into you. 😂

    i have no idea what you are talking about *shifty eyes*

    That was my real initial reaction when I read about the "ope" phenomenon and then I heard myself saying it ALL THE TIME! (and I haven't lived in WI for almost 13 years)

    ... I just read this today, then almost ran into someone in a doorway. "Ope! Excuse me!"
    I haven't lived in WI for 40 years.

    You can take us out of WI but you can't take the WI out of us apparently 😂

    I'll keep that in mind. *stares longingly at PNW*

    @PastorVincent - Loved your "nice things list" about the treadmill (dreadmill as you call it). ALL reason why I prefer to run there verses outside, especially when the temperatures drop in Michigan. It is really my preferred method for running, even when outdoor conditions are idea, for all the same reason you mentioned.

    Last (probably) run before Houston marathon. Tapering must be working because I just went out for an easy 3 miles, just trying to keep a slow, steady pace throughout the run. Turned out to be about :30 faster for each mile. Hoping in carries through on Sunday. If I am able to finish, @KeepRunningFatboy can cross Texas off the list of states :D

    @Scott6255 Good luck and have fun!
