So instead of sleeping in until noon today, I was woken up by Ron the maintenance guy to replace my water heater.  With the sun and warm temperatures beckoning, I made my way to St. Charles to get in a run before work.  It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't fast (I'm not so good with the heat and hills), but it sure felt good to run with a tank top on and sun beaming down on me.  Today I'm grateful for the promise of warmer weather ahead.
