Got up this morning for my run. Looked at the temp gauge, which showed a balmy 29 F. First of all, wtf? I live in the south for a reason. Don't like this cold shit. Not. One. Bit.
Got all my running stuff on (long sleeve tech shirt, shorts, sweatshirt, socks and shoes). As an aside, I was trying the sweatshirt instead of my running jackets because I seem to get too hot once I have been running awhile, but only on my arms. Weird, I know.
While I was prepared for the cold, I was not ready for the wind. The wind was from the west, blowing around 15 mph with gusts up to 20-25. Damn, that is some serious wind-chill. By the time I got to the home stretch, Needle's Needle was not liking this run. Maybe I should have worn some running pants because that part of my body was revolting by the time I was done.
Needless to say, I was booking it for the last 1/2 mile or so trying to get done.
Total miles: 25

This is funny for so many reasons.
ReplyDelete#1. 29F actually IS balmy where I come from! That's like a freakin' heat wave, which would inspire me to run in shorts and not much else.
#2. Was your needle "revolting" as in it was nasty and gross or "revolting" as in rebelling?
#3. "Needle's Needle", huh? Most guys would go for something a bit more intimidating/phallic sounding like "Rod's Rod" or "Dick's Dick". Your honesty is refreshing.
