Well, I never thought it would ever be too cold to run here. But it is for a couple days. What's with single digits and 20 mile/hr winds anyway? I thought the minus 30 wind chills were for the northerners!
So, we have nine days until the Topeka to Auburn 1/2 marathon and it looks like we will make it back into the 30's by then, whew.. Man am I ready for some warmer temps, even the 30's are sounding pretty warm at this point. Everyone will be in singlets and shorts after this super cold stuff!
So, I managed to run about 6 1/2 miles on Tuesday morning in the snow. I am still not feeling 100%. I was hoping to get a 10 miler in this weekend, but Saturdays high is only like 4 or 5 degrees, so it's not looking good. Maybe Sunday will bring bearable temps, I loathe the treadmill. I visited the YMCA this evening for a spin class. I really respect cyclists after 45 minutes of that!
You runners can appreciate the enjoyment you get in running. I just can't get that from swimming or biking, it's not the same for me. I know there are benefits from cross training, but I can get lost in my thoughts while I run. It's when I can clear my head, think about life and spend some time just medidating and talking to God. (as well as listening to him) Man I really have missed that in the past six weeks or so that I have been recovery and SLOWLY getting back out.
