I hate the cold!
I'm trying not to wimp out this winter, but MAN I hate the cold!! It's especially hard (or perhaps the problem is that wimping out is even easier) when the kids are involved. I truly do believe that I am setting a good example of fitness for my kids each and every time I drag them along for a run. But when there are runny noses, sore throats, cranky toddlers, and freezing temperatures it becomes a whole 'nother ball game. Not to mention the fact that I don't happen to have a lot of coordination, so avoiding icy patches or slushy puddles on my own can be tough. Doing that while pushing a double jogger? No way! I'm making sure I work a little harder in my Boot Camp class and I'm trying to push myself to get out alone when I can. But I sure will be glad when things warm up a bit!! How is everyone else doing in these chilly times??

No Katy, don't beat yourself up--it's about being careful with the children. Cold? Not a problem. Last Winter we met Jenny early one very cold Saturday morning for a run because her husband had to go somewhere later in the morning. We ran 8 miles, dodging ice patches, because that is what the training plan called for. Nobody was outside except a cop in a police car watching these 3 nutcase runners. And we were hot, sweating even. How do I know? Because frosty icicles formed in the damp tendrils of our hair that stuck out from our hats. That is when I knew it was true love, that our group would get up and drive to meet Jenny at 7:10am and run in 11 degree weather!
That is love -- you girls ROCK!!!!!
