jamesqI've been slacking off at running the last few weeks. Mostly this is because me sleep schedule has been shot (working on that though), but also because Cowtown's weather hasn't been cooperating.
Today I woke up and realized I had no major constraints on my time. I then went online and checked the forecast. -9 at the time, but with a low of -29 later tonight. Clearly it was run now or don't do it at all.
I bundled up in as many layers as I could for what I consider maximum-cold-you-can-still-run-in and went outside. I was immediately hit with a fierce wind. I turned my back to it and started running. About a minute later I turned left and caught the same wind (the one that's bringing the cold-front in) full in the face. I ran for about another 30 seconds thinking I could acclimate to it. Nope. It really was ass-biting cold out. I turned and went back home. Total running time: about two minutes.
Damn. Looks like I'm going to be running at the oval this week. It also looks like it's going to remain ass-biting cold all week.
