Run. I’m contemplating a run. It’s 6 degrees at the moment. I have the gear to run in this temperature but it’s getting up the motivation to find it. Actually, it’s just the running coat I need to find. I have the other stuff already out.

Resumption of Running
I hit the pavement today. It was nice. No wind, slightly obscured sun without it being grey and overcast. The roads were dry, but the sidewalks had some snow and ice. Thankfully I have new shoes that are designed for muddy trail running. Though not perfect, they did keep me from slipping so that I didn’t strain my back or legs.
With the move done I am looking forward to regular runs. I didn’t gain too much weight, but I have goals I want to achieve; both weight and conditioning.
And I Ran
I ran so far away……….
And I still ended up with frozen toes! Yet it was a good run, though short. I am going to have to do some research on how to keep my toes from freezing when running. Otherwise, I had a good run. Exhilarating, in fact. I will do it again. And soon.
To Run or Not to Run?
It is currently 16 degrees below zero. Now, I bought winter running gear – shoes and under garments. Oh, and this way cool jacket having specialized sleeves with ends that can be converted to mittens. Way warmer than wearing regular mittens or gloves. It also has an attached face mask that works well. But 16 below? I don’t know. I’m going to think on it for a bit more.
Of course, I remember having to do farm chores in way worse weather. But than, I was younger and dumber back then. Actually, the only thing that’s different is I’m not younger. So, yeah. That.
Incremental Marathon – Man Flu Leg
I believe I am delusional from the Man Flu because I ended up running after feeling exhausted from spoiling Tina.
To Run or Not To Run?
Blah, blah, blah.
More than likely, I’ll run.
On a related note – my Fitbit is dying. Not the electronics, but the band. The plastic is once again separating from the watch section. And I have a model where you cannot replace the band. I already exchanged one Fitbit due to this very issue. However, this particular watch in well past the one year warranty. That’s fine, because I’ve been thinking of using my tax return to get an Apple Watch now that it’s heart rate monitor can sync with the Runtastic app.
Incremental Marathon – The Continuation
And Monday’s run was in the snow. That one hurt. Different muscles came into play because of the snow on the ground.
The Incremental Marathon Continued
A little catch up on my running.
A New Day
It’s a bright, blue sky outside this morning. I almost decided to go running outside, but the wind is still bitingly cold. So, it’s off to the fitness center again today.
In other news, the owner of the house I am working on purchasing had decided he can’t both sell the home at the price we agreed upon and fix the roof. And the roof is in dire need of repair. So, do I back out of the deal, or continue negotiating? For the most part, the location is a strong selling point. The backyard is wonderful. And I’d still be paying less for the monthly mortgage payment than I do for rent.
Sugar Crash
The Cinnamon roll is knocking me out. But it was an excellent finish to the BLT and onion rings I had for dinner.
Actually, the workout probably is playing a part. I managed 45 minutes, 30 on the treadmill and 15 on the elliptical.
