-2 degrees plus a wind chill (How cold is that?)

I got up early this morning to run because it was the only time during the day that I would have. Susan has an all day training event for a volunteer charity she is working with so I'll have Anna all day - she can take Paul with her. She'll be home by 3:30 - but MSU plays Illinois in basketball at 4:00. I always make time in my day to watch the Spartans :)

It was cold, windy, and snowing this morning. I ended up running about 2.2 miles. I didn't really have a plan. I knew that I wanted to run at least 1.5 miles but I guess the survival instinct came on and I ran back to my street corner. My eyelids were just about frozen open, and I had icicles hanging from by eyebrows and eyelashes. My fingers were a little cold too - but the rest of my body was comfortable. I didn't see one person or even one car. It's a great feeling to know that you are up and about while others may never get a chance or the will to get about all day.

Added some weight training to the routine this week - that will also help build some muscle and raise the metabolism.
