WHOA! is it cold out. I hadnt really given it much thought when I got dressed to beat feet. I looked at the temp on the phone and then double checked on google. Both said 43 but I wasnt really thinking. I had on jog pants, jog shirt, and fleece pullover (thankfully I at least opted for that over the fleece vest). And out I went. It has been quite some time since I have been out there. OK - I did the walk for my birthday party but that doesnt count. I am trying to get back into the swing of things.
Well I forgot how the wind seems to whip right through you when it gets colder. And how when walking into town with the sun in your face it feels so wonderful but on the way back.... WHOA COLD! I ended up pulling my hands up into the sleeves of the fleece and wrapping my arms around my torso to fend off the chill. I had my headset on so the wind in my ears wasnt as bad as it could but for me... my ears can hurt when it is windy in the summer. So I am thinking unless it is warm and sunny over the next few weekends, the bike may be out for the remainder of the winter.
I was pretty proud of myself on the walk though. Did a little under 2.5 miles. I did a little over 3 on the treadmill at the hotel last Sunday. So at least my legs still work. And I even managed to throw a bit of a run in the mix today. Running down hill in a few spots is not too terribly hard. And it didnt feel too bad even though it has been AGES since I even attempted a little run.
If i can shake this chill maybe I will go hit the pool. It's not really on my agenda today but it could feel good once I got in the water and started moving about... we shall see...
I also need to go to the grocery store - almost expired milk and eggs are the only things in the fridge. That wont quite carry me through the week even if I do feel like I could live off the fat of the land from all of last week's eating. DONUTS for breakfast (which I dont even like) and lemon ice box pie for dessert at lunch... The things I do for work.. hahahaha
