And coming from Vegas, it was quite a change. But I've really learned to love it and appreciate it... you get those moments where it''s just wild, the wind whipping, and it feels so primal.<BR/><BR/>I don't drive a car here, but do everything on my bike, like 90% of the Dutch do. The other day, during some really bad wind and rain, my friend said she'd be happy to drive me if I needed it. It's tempting, but you know, the best part of being miserable on the bike is that I know I'm not a slave to the weather. It's when miserable feels rad.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the best for your birthday, you crazy gal you!<BR/>Happy Happy Joy Joy-DebDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309712607740704777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1165859163941024532006-12-11T09:46:00.000-08:002006-12-11T09:46:00.000-08:00My fair-weather friends always freak when I do stu...My fair-weather friends always freak when I do stuff in "inclement" weather (I don't like to say "bad" weather - it's just "different").<BR/>Hey, if you only run when the weather is calm, then you're not really "outdoors", are you?!JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1165808480853909982006-12-10T19:41:00.000-08:002006-12-10T19:41:00.000-08:00Running in shitty weather is the best!

If the weather were perfect all the time we'd either (a) live in a real crowded San Diego or (b) forget what good weather is!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609653940286042245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1165802999511767242006-12-10T18:09:00.000-08:002006-12-10T18:09:00.000-08:00I agree.
