Day two, went better. I got off of work early, so it was harder to motivate myself to get back out into the cold. When Tony came by my room to see if I was going, I almost said no, but I knew I had better get out there. It was a little warmer than the other day, but still cold. I have been having to double up on my socks, wearing a pair of Injinji socks under more traditional socks. My shoes are a little snug in doing this, but it's for the greater good. There is still snow and ice on the not frequently used roads, which happens to be where we run. Needless to say, that added to the challenge. Trying not to inadvertently do the splits mid-stride was tough. Tony mentioned wanting to try to run 20 on Monday. Oye vay. Seriously? Well, why not, right??

Thanks for tuning in! See you in a few days.
Get out there and run!
I've always found the cold to be invigorating...once my the feeling comes back to my legs, and my hands, and I get some damn coffee...anything under 40 and I am finished, running inside, whining about how cold it is. I feel ya.
