No Excuses

When I woke up this morning {after a HORRIBLE nights sleep}

I looked the weather report.... MINUS 19.

They are kidding right?!?!?! Barf

Anyways I messaged my voice of reason {Deena}

and asked if -19 was too cold to run... 

Her response "It's never too cold"

UGH. 

Needless to say I got my tush outta bed, 

packed up my little monster {Eddie} 

and hit the road. 

Lemme tell you, it was cold. Like really really cold.

I didn't stick to the run program, {mostly because

even Eddie thought it was too cold to be out}

So I ran as much as I could and got it done as quickly 

as possible. I normally have to do 3.8km to

 get through the program run but I only went 2.8 km today. 

Poor little Eddie was laying down in the snow and shaking his 

frozen little paws. Time to call it a day. Next time 

I think it will be a solo mission to get out

on these really cold days... OR Animal rights might

be knocking on my door! It still felt good

to get out even though I didn't get through 

the entire routine. I also ran my fastest 1km,

so I guess there is advantages to running in the cold. 

It was a beautiful day by the river even if we were

both frozen.
