So if you haven't heard, Winter finally hit the South.
It is flippin' COLD. I woke up yesterday and checked the weather. Because HeavensforBetsy I go outside to check. Yep. 20something. So I stayed inside with My Dog. I worked on my blog, played around on twitter, and packed my lunch. Because darn it... I am worth a healthy lunch. I only let my co-worker's Herysheys kisses sabotage me three times. Fuel for run? At least I didn't give into the pizza at work :) Anyways...
I brought my feisty red gym bag to work that Finn got me as part of my Christmas loot. Along with the Nike gloves and head band thingy....
I only hoped the hat/earmuff/thingy had heaters. But let me tell you. It stayed on my head. And my hands and ears were mighty warm. Now if Nike can create a little nose warmer. I would be All.Over.It. Of course, it must have the swoosh prominently placed on my left side... so when driving in my car others can tell it's Nike. Because that's how I roll.
So let's rewind... {can you tell I am drinking coffee right now?! WEEEEEEEE}

| Yep. I am a D-O-R-K. |
I drove over to Forsyth Park and left my car there. Well, obvi VR. You can't run and drive at the same time. Just like you don't drink and drive. #dumb.
So I ran towards ran along the Park, hung a right on Gaston St. Stopped. Dreamed about our Future Home. Kept Running. Stopped. Why is my Garmin acting up?!?! Oh maybe it's the 3 cracks I got in it after having it all of 2 weeks. Yeah that was so 6 months ago. Maybe I should get that fixed... ok kept running. Past some dead people, ok a lot of dead people. Moved right along to Broughton St. Contemplated stopping at Leopold's Ice Cream. Or visiting our wedding cake lady... she was on the Food Network Cake Challenge a few times. And I did see some cupcakes in her window and the light on.. geez, girl. MOVE IT.
Ok... turned right on Congress.... down to Washington Square. Stopped. Paused. Someone is getting married there in a few weeks ;)
Hooked a right up to Liberty Street. Started to criss cross random streets back to the park before I did 1.5 laps around. I wanted to do 2 more... but I had to use the facilities soooo bad. Yeah. Sadly the Pavilion was closed (winter hours) and the porta potties were not cutting it this time. They are usually really clean. I think NYE got the best of them.
So I did it 4 miles of random, freezing cold (in the 30's) of running. After work. And I didn't die. Usually during night runs. I feel like poop on a stick. I actually felt pretty good. I think I have been keeping my diet and hydration in check. Thumbs up to me!
Oh and I will stop complaining about cold Savannah this weekend. It will be back to 70. K. Thanks.
QOD: Are you more of a morning or afternoon workout person? Does it take a lot for you to workout during the other time frame?
My best workout excuse to NOT workout at night... I don't want to waste water by having to take a second shower. Yep. Eco-Friendly up in hur.


it takes a miracle for me to workout in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIM OFF TO WORKOUT NOW :)
Spring and summer definitely a morning person.Winter hmmm yeah a afternoon workout will will do because I would not have the motivation to run that early in the morning in 12 degree weather brrrrrr brrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteCarla... Miracles do happen! I swam tonight ( bike & swimming are my easier night workouts)! But tomorrow promised a friend a night run. Oh no! ;?
ReplyDeleteSheyma, it's wicked cold up there. I dont know how y'all are handling it!
It's been freezing up by me (CT) and I HATE it! I grew up in Miami so I'm still getting used to winter
ReplyDeleteHehehehe...this started my morning off right =) Thanks for the awesomely funny post!!
ReplyDeleteI am a morning runner - either first thing in the morning or during my son's first nap. If I have to put off my workout til after his bedtime, I'll likely not workout. I'm too tired by the end of the day!!!
Rach... I understand your pain. It's hard when you are used to one climate and have to live in another!!
ReplyDeleteMichele- it is so hard to workout at night. Too much good tv on at night. hehe
