The Dedicated Runner

So, the weather is getting warmer. That means lots of things for runners. Easy early morning runs, safe evening runs, don't have to wear layer runs, and just plain ol' more enjoyable runs. Of course it also means joggers come out of hibernation, meaning tredmill tunnel, and hit the road. They are what we'll call "Glory Runners". They are not pounding the pavement when it's below 50 degrees. They do not bundle up in double, even triple, layers at 6 in the morning to embark on the dark and balmy 15 degree runs. The runner who treds upon snow covered roads with 3 inches of snow caked onto their sneakers and their eyelids covered in snow. Those runs are for the strong of heart. The dedicated runner- or some may say the crazy runner. Regardless of the weather, there are few who push their limits year round and can take pride in their craziness.
