Boy, it is ever cold out there!<\/p>\n

Wowzers!<\/p>\n

The NWS (National Weather Service) forecast an overnight low of 15* and when I got up this morning, it was 15* on the button. \u00a0Hard to pull the wool over their eyes!<\/p>\n

If you recall, yesterday I was bemoaning the fact that I was having trouble with my running schedule. \u00a0I was trying to figure out how to move my runs around due to the nasty weather we have pending. \u00a0After chatting with my coach, he moved things around a bit and I found myself only having a 4 mile run this morning.<\/p>\n

Sweet!<\/p>\n

I hopped out of bed this morning ready to greet the day. \u00a0I was mentally prepared for that 4 miler. \u00a0My thoughts were, “Let’s do this!!!”<\/p>\n

Then, I let the dog out.<\/p>\n

Holy Cow! \u00a0It was C.O.L.D. out there!!! \u00a0Time to rethink this.<\/p>\n

I had a few bites of some cheesy grits and drank my coffee while I thought.<\/p>\n

I have an insulted UA compression shirt that I wear under my insulated Nike running jacket. \u00a0Normally (in the 20’s), that’s warm enough. \u00a0Hmmm…That’s when I remembered that I have a Fila jacket.<\/p>\n

I don’t care for that Fila jacket and I’ll tell you why. \u00a0It’s too big. \u00a0It’s a men’s size small and I am a women’s extra small. \u00a0The jacket is waaay long and the zipper scratches my neck. \u00a0I know…Cry me a river.<\/p>\n

Today, though, that might be just what I needed. \u00a0If I wore that on top of the UA and Nike stuff. \u00a0I’d be okay. \u00a0I only had to do a 4 miler after all. \u00a0So, I started layering.<\/p>\n

I pulled on my long running tights, the UA and Nike tops, the Fila jacket, my ear muffy thing (UA), visor, a pr of gloves with mittens over those and last but not least, I stole a bandanna from my dog.<\/p>\n

Yes. \u00a0I am not proud of this, but I flat out stole from my dog.<\/p>\n

Paxton, my pudgy pooch, is now too fat to wear his bandannas so they have been washed and put away in a drawer for some time. \u00a0I grabbed the first one I found and tied it around my face. \u00a0I bounded out the door for the best 4 miler I have run in a very long time.<\/p>\n

That was such a great run! \u00a0Aside from freezing, it was awesome!!!<\/p>\n

It is a pretty, sunny Mississippi morning. \u00a0Nobody was out and about because they all have the sense God gave them to stay in when it’s this cold! \u00a0HA!<\/p>\n

My legs are almost completely recovered from last Saturday’s marathon so I had #HappyLegs for my run.<\/p>\n

Life is good!!!<\/p>\n
