Suffice it say Momma N had some attitude this week.
Wowza. She was generous with the wind (#BigSurprise), but she also was very kind with the (summer) heat. Then, by week’s end, she did a complete 180 and tried to catapult us back to Winter. Yes, just in time for my race, LOL…
Before I get to the nitty gritty deets from the week, Welcome to the Weekly Run Down!
Yes, I did it again.
It’s not like I’m a glutton for punishment. I definitely have a zest for taking on challenges, though. You know, especially the ones that others may shy away from.
Such was the case on Sunday, March 29th. I found myself back in downtown Des Moines, with 79 total flights of stairs awaiting my legs, heart, and lungs.

Can we talk about 4-letter words? Specifically, those that often times try to wreak havoc on my fitness endeavors?
It’s a given that wind is top contender. Another such wild card is rain. Let’s suffice it say both of these were in tight competition for this week’s top honors. I guess I could also add cold to the mix, but it wasn’t in the deal-breaker range.
Rain had a sight edge this week, though, and not in a good way…
It was another interesting week of weather.
Lucky us, we were blessed with a little bit of everything this week. Although there was some sunshine, it was a contest between the wind and the rain for the most attention. There even was a little hint of tornado conditions. Never a dull moment!
Anyone up for a warm beverage, and some chatter among friends?
After all, it is (finally) the spring season, and the Midwest weather is nothing if not unpredictable. There’s plenty to talk about, though, and we don’t even have to bring the weather into the conversation.
Go ahead, grab a favorite beverage, and join me around the virtual table!
Hmmm, the Iowa weather just keeps us guessing.
After last Saturday’s record-setting 91F temps, the thermometer crashed and the wind returned. Go figure! Thankfully, things mellowed-out by mid-week and we saw more seasonal conditions. It still wasn’t summer-like, but at least the temps were moving in a better direction.
Those being said, there’s a few things to bring to the ‘Fessional before the month winds down. Care to join me?
