Okay, so maybe I changed my mind...

So I flip-floped on the whole not running in the wind thing...so what...it felt great. I just couldn't do it man, it was 10 degrees in January...there are very few things a married man can indulge in, and running in the wind just happens to be one of them.

According to good ol' environment Canada, the winds were SW at 25km/h, but it didn't really feel that bad, probably because it was 10 freakin' degrees!!! It's just too much, sure deep down inside I'm scared shitless about the environment and how bad this weather really is, but there's that part of me that's loving it. You know the part I'm talking about, unless of course you really are a tree hugging hippie...or your name is Russ!

Anyhow, the run today was great. Here's the deets...
Outdoor - 10 degrees celcius - wind SW 25km/h
Warmup - 7:00 - .62 miles (1km)
Run - 40:05 - 4.35 miles (7km) - avg speed=9:14/mile
Cooldown - 8:31 - .54 miles

I also spoke to Brock this evening and he was running on his treadmill tonight...that's good news!!! We discussed joining a running group with an actual trainer...not a bad idea. We also decided that we are going to have weekly meetings to discuss our training and plan our fundraising so I'll definately keep you posted on that front.

I'm having trouble remembering the tunes from today's run as it was almost 3 hours ago, so tonight you can imagine me running to any song you like...except Achy Breaky Hart, or Cotton Eyed Joe, or that dumb ass Chumbawumba song...those are 3 very bad songs.

Tomorrow is my rest day so no running until Saturday. Thanks for checking in.

Will
