It shouldn't be below zero in March, even in Minnesota.
I'll elaborate later so this doesn't get crazy long, but what is March bringing your way? It can be weather or training or anything else you want to share.
So, tomorrow I need to run in the neighborhood of 14-16 miles. I totally skipped my long run last week because of weather/work/schedule craziness. If I want to have a chance to meet my race goals I really need to get a decent long run done. (Obviously).
Weather tomorrow? Low of -21, High of -4 and 10+ mph wind. Meaning it likely won't be above 20 below windchill all day. Sunday looks the same.
I'm thinking I'll try to run as long as possible outside, then finish on the treadmill. Unless anyone has any really awesome audio books or movie to suggest for about 2.5 hours on the TM??
I know it won't be as bad as I'm making it out to be, but I just want some warmth back! I am honestly enjoying training, but the winter is getting so old.

I grew up in FL, so I still feel like March should be the beginning of spring. I remember going to the beach on Spring Break. I still get hopeful when March rolls around. But March is still winter around here, and this year it's REALLY winter. We have two chances of snow next week.

-Warmer weather (I hope, anyway). -Our third anniversary and subsequent trip to either Toronto or Vancouver. (We apparently like to wait till the last minute to plan our vacations ...) -Renters for the townhouse (fingers crossed!!). -My longest runs ever. To be followed by even longer ones in April.
More cold and snow....and a really expensive tax payment. No work travel until the end of the month (YAY!) so hopefully lots of productive training weeks. Hopefully our new couch will arrive?
New bras (lol I'm really excited about this) Many days of tipsy brunch Lots of boozing in general Oh and I'm running my first 10k And finding out where I'm headed in June/July
My birthday! Mr. Cupcake's birthday! BIRFDAY TRIP TO FLORIDA! High mileage! Submitting my paper! Submitting my vaccine! More lame lab exams to administer! Ukrops 10k!
and more cold shit weather
Wait wait I knew you were in immunology but you've designed a vaccine? Can you talk about it? I find this super interesting for obvious reasons.
....sunshine, BBQ and good times. I've arrived in Australia, though my bags didn't. Hopefully I get those back today as well.
I was going to page you the other day to see where you've been. I thought maybe you were on your bear shooting vacation.
Ha! No, not yet, the trip to Svalbard is end of May. I've just been crazy busy with work and other commitments. I have occasionally been reading GBCN but it's only now that I'm in utter insomniatic jet lag that I've had a chance to post.

Starting the month with my birthday! 40 - AACCKK!! Last few weeks of half training. Finishing the month with a half - no intention of a PR. Just hope it will be warmer by then.
