  • Its cold outside..

    Saturday, November 28th, 2009

    Today was really hard to get out of bed and run. The temp outside was 30 degrees.
    But I forced myself to get up and run before breakfast.
    I got a lot of stuff done this weekend at my in-laws but I also ate a ton, and sat on the couch the whole time. This morning run [...]

    Saturday night, 8 o’clock is about as late as I want to go for a last minute run.
