Treamill Overdose

The motivation is low right now, which I think is directly attributable to the crappy weather that we've been having. I'll just admit that I'm not a tough a runner when it comes to cold weather. I hate it. I'm sure that says something about my intestinal fortitude, but I don't care.

So I've been on the treadmill a lot lately, and that is just bad for motivation. This morning was 14 miles on the treadmill until I finally just had enough. I went and changed into my cotton sweatshirt and jogging pants that I had at the gym and ran the final 4 miles outside. I felt like Rocky Balboa with my hood up and my hands tucked safely in my shirt sleeves.

Anyway, I'm surviving, and this weather can't last forever. I know there are probably better ways to cope with it (like growing a pair and going outside), but hey. I am what I am.

February offers the dog days of winter. Yeah, I'm sick of the cold gray, too.

Just a couple more weeks...a couple more weeks...
