Last week, it snowed in Minnesota. Molly was the only one pleased by this development:
So it wasn't too much of a hardship for the Engineer and I to escape to Hawaii. (Well, leaving the puppy behind was hard, but Molly will never, ever fly on an airplane). It really is very pretty here.
I actually ran outside, and going from 30 degrees to 80 with the additional of hills was a little ... challenging. We stopped in at the Big Island Running Company to buy a handheld water bottle so that I can not get dehydrated when I try again. Interestingly, the bottle holder was not only cheaper than the one I bought back home at the Running Ripoff, but more awesome - it has a pouch for gels or my cell phone.
