Three in the Air
Sunday morning and I’ve returned from running with Shaun the Dog™. The air is sharp but I have a good mix of layers on. The only thing that bites are my uncovered shins (I wear knickers all the time) and perhaps the dog running aside me though whether he’d actually ever bite anything remains to be seen.
The Shuffle is queued up and I seem to have found a good spot in the mix to run to. It doesn’t matter, the music is white noise and a metronome when I run. I think more than anything else and focus on the rhythm. And to not have to listen to my laboured breathing.
This morning I awoke and felt the need to run. I prefer this feeling as opposed to forcing myself to run or get on the bike. I know, I know, training and all but this weather is a straight up deadly motivation sapper.
2008 and it’s time to start focusing.
I hear you. A high of 14ยบ (-10C) with 30mph winds here in Toronto today. I’ve got some core work and a some trainer spinning on the schedule, but I skipped my outdoor spin yesterday. I just couldn’t do it! I don’t have any footwear warm enough to keep my toes from going numb if I’m out for more than 20-30 minutes. :S
