There is just no way to describe what it felt like on Saturday morning at 6am… the thermometer read -2…yeah that's right... NEGATIVE 2... eeekk gads.....within a few hours it reached a whopping ZERO degrees.. Halleluiah… freaking heat wave…
So after much debate ...and waiting ...until way after lunch.. and with it now being sub tropic at 14 degrees.. I said, "NO WAY.. not going to do it.. UH NO.. NOT.. NIL.. NADA"… "Not running OUTSIDE in that…. ridiculous!!"… Joe on the other hand said he was…um...brave man... thankfully I DID convince him to run part outside and part inside.. thus 3.5 miles outside, then change, and do 3.5 on treadmill…thus he did really well… came back only slightly blue.. hope that was fun hon.
So what to do about the long run on Sunday? We had a 13-16 miler scheduled.. no way we were doing that on treadmill.. and it was a bit warmer.. 28 degrees.. hmmm...so we decided that would be a bit more manageable.. except the part where my legs got really really tired.. and I bailed at mile 8… Oh yeah I am one big WHOOSE BAG… and the machine kept going.. he ran 16+ miles, over two and a half hours in 28 degree weather… LOOKING FOR A BIT OF WARMTH I SUPPOSE… utterly amazing.. the man is going to be unstoppable come the spring!
