Brr!!!

Hey, look at me, I'm Mrs. Crazy Running Lady.  Gimme some chocolate milk!

So, I decided to run outside last night.  Holy balls, it was COLD!  So cold, in fact, that I quite possibly ran a PR. The wind was out of the west at 5 mph. Combine that with a temperature of 12 degrees and it felt like about 4 above zero. Brr!

I started out from my work at a very fast pace, just trying to stay warm.  I knew I couldn't keep that up the whole way, but as my face went numb, it wasn't the pace I was concerned about - it was getting the feeling back in my extremities.  At one point I couldn't tell if my hat was on or off because I couldn't feel it.  Not to mention that I forgot my reflective vest and therefore became an invisible, dark moving being in the pitch black night.  Not a smart idea - will never forget my vest again! Nevertheless, I continued on to my destination - Extreme Engineering in Middleton. It couldn't arrive soon enough.  After roughly 45 minutes, I finished the 6.14 mile stretch to Matt's work.

Back to the treadmill tomorrow!
