Ugggh! I had been waiting for the cold weather to arrive and when it did, it showed up big time. After prying my manhood from the abyss of my bowels, I made the comment to my wife, "it is colder than a witch's t%#&*!" Now, I am not really all that familiar with the anatomy of those who practice the dark arts, but man, it was stinking cold! Which leads me to wonder, how does one determine the temperature of the mammary glands of a warty old lady? Is that even a question that should be considered? I don't think so! Ok, so where am I going with this? Well, I'm not too sure, but I do know that each morning at 5:00 am it is frigid and within three strides I lose all feeling in my face and the sweat on my forehead is starting to freeze on my eyebrows! But the streak must go on!
Today's run made it 33 days in a row and I am now 1/3 of the way through my 100 day streak! Last week I managed 50 miles and this week I have set a goal of 55-60 miles for the week. As we head deeper into the winter it gets a little harder and harder to drag myself from the comfort of the flannel sheets, down comforter and my wife to slip out the door scantily dressed in lycra blend and cotton garments into the dank and dreary darkness of early morning. However, I know it will be all worth it come July when I finally line up at the World Masters Championships in Sacramento ready to take on the challenge of flying around the track 12 1/2 times! And for this week, it will be worth it to write down in the log, 60 miles!
Until the next time, stay healthy, keep running and keep warm!
