Back on the Running Wagon

After posting my 25 Things List, my friend Becca asked me if I was interested in running with her. Finally someone to run with again! Well, running, in and of itself takes some motivation. Then there is the whole getting out of bed and out the door component. There was the cold morning aspect as well, BUT I have never imagined I would ever run in THIS cold! We left at 6:30 this morning and it was -3 outside, thankfully no wind, but -3!!! I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was quite strange to find out that the inside of your nose can freeze, not to mention your hair, eyelashes, skin! I had Jake come out and take a picture of us. Hopefully Friday morning will bless us with a few more degrees!

This can not be good for someone. I am very impressed with your motivation.

You did not say How far you ran?

I've been replaced!! Don't worry I'm not hurt... too much. :) Seriously, I'm glad you've found a new running partner, and one who isn't as wimpy as I am -- remember, I quit running when it hit 19 degrees! I'm really impressed with you guys. And is there frost in your hair?!

Last winter we had a particularly bitter cold week and I got the same abomidable snowman look when I got home. Unfortunately Tim was still asleep and by the time I got inside to take a photo is was all melted. I'm missing those early morning frigid workouts!!!
