Still Cold. Harumph.

I'm still cold. The cold makes me grouchy. This is a grouchy post.

On Saturday, I went out and did 9 miles in the freezing wind. Geez...I didn't even realize how cold I was until I got home. Well...that's not entirely true. I was fine when I was running towards Capital Hill, but when I started on my way home, the wind was just hitting me in the face. It was the kind of wind that takes your breath away and makes you want to puke. Not fun. But it DOES make you feel really hard core. So I muscled through it. and then went home...and wore a snuggie around my apartment...

But it remains cold, which means that I remain unmotivated to go outside at all, let alone for an hour. Will 2010 be the year that I conquer the treadmill? I have no idea, as I still hate all treadmills. I wish that there was an indoor track around here that I could use. As it is, I will have to either face the cold or face the treadmill. Shudder. Horrible prospects!

I have to pick one or the other every day now, because my next marathon is rapidly approaching. Nah, you say, it's not for a while yet! Plenty of time. Oh really? Sign up for a marathon and see if it feels like you have enough time to train. I be you say no!

Right now I am very tired and fat from the holidays...nothing like sitting around a tree drinking wine, er, juice, and eating cookies to make you feel like a runner!
