keeping warm
maybe instead of ‘keeping warm’ the goal might be better stated as ‘keeping warm & comfortable’ this winter. it can be tricky to pick the right amount of clothing to wear without looking like ralphie’s little brother in A Christmas Story. admittedly, on the coldest of days i retreat to the treadmill for some hamster miles but more often than not i’m outdoors slogging my way through winter.
from november through february, i really don’t focus (much) on how fast i’m running. weathering a wisconsin winter is all about delayed gratification. running loop courses and donning multiple layers of clothing is as necessary as eating the broccoli and carrots on your dinner plate. (squash and sweet potatoes, not so much.)
once and awhile i’ll take the intensity up a notch or two…just for grins. i figure that if i put in the work now then by spring i’ll be a tiger…figuratively speaking of course.
