Remember how I said I feel like a badass running in the cold? Well I also feel like a popsicle, complete with (TMI alert) nipsicles and fingertipsicles. However, that's really only for the first few minutes. Then everything except my face warms up nice and toasty. Much better than running in the summer, when it's so hot your head feels like a big throbbing balloon and the chub rub is having at it on your inner thighs. But I digress...
Yesterday's run/walk combo went really well despite the frigid cold and wind. I even incorporated two big hills! I took a longer route and ended up finishing the program running parts after about 25 mins but was still about a little under a mile away from home. For serious, the final 15 minutes were the worst because I was walking and fa-fa-fa-freezing!
Another fun thing about running in the cold is the wheeze you get. I was sitting in the living room when I got home, amazing myself with the sound of my singing whispery lungs, and I realized that the cat had promptly stopped what she was doing and was looking at me, all nervous and big-haired. I believe she thought I was hissing. Anyway, a hot shower took care of the problem and I was good to go. Feeling good today and ready to take on Week 2, Day 2 tomorrow.
