I'm actually gonna be in Chicago in a couple weeks for the Wintrust 10-miler....but probably won't be doing the stairs (or the 10-miler would be a slow-motion adventure as a result). I honestly do not know of any free stair parks in Iowa, but I'm gonna have to do a little research! I do the Fight for Air Climb every spring (for the American Lung Association), so I do a lot of stair-training this time of year. I actually did the Climb at the Presidential Towers in 2014...that was tough!!Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-9395338955018024902017-02-26T22:55:23.366-06:002017-02-26T22:55:23.366-06:00ha ha ha ....I think the Garmin was going on dista...ha ha ha ....I think the Garmin was going on distance and not hear rate or effort LOLKim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-70802667281002683462017-02-26T22:54:45.076-06:002017-02-26T22:54:45.076-06:00It feels so liberating not having to wear all the ...It feels so liberating not having to wear all the cold weather gear...but disheartening to have to dig it back out a few days later ;-(Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-85387842526742051012017-02-26T22:53:48.892-06:002017-02-26T22:53:48.892-06:00February has been pretty mild....and then the warm...February has been pretty mild....and then the warm weather was almost show-stopping!

It was amazing running with short sleeves. My general rule for dress is to dress for 20 degrees warmer than it is outside. The first mile is sometimes cold but after that if I dress to warm, I'm striping down on the run and tying clothes around my waist. I hope this weather is here to stay!Cassandrahttp://www.poweredbybling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-69083360898244442582017-02-25T12:00:29.305-06:002017-02-25T12:00:29.305-06:00Wow!
