Brrrr!

I am typing this with mittens on because my desk is next to the drafty front door of my office. Currently the temperature here (with wind chill factor) is -10. That's damn cold.

It's supposed to stay this way all week. As such, there will not be much running outside for the next few days. I plan to make up for it with quality time on the elliptical as well as periods of dancing like a fool throughout my house. Other things too, probably.

The inability to go for a run without freezing to death has prompted me to look forward to future running endeavors. Last year in April I ran my first 5k ever, and just told a friend (who ran the first 5k with me) that I'm going to do the half marathon held on the same day this year. So there is another 13.1 miles in my future! When it is much warmer, luckily.
