A Running Mom

Do you run in the single digits?  I’m not the biggest fan of zero degree running. Nose hairs freeze. Sometimes I start to wheeze. Don’t like the chilly breeze. No, not for me, zero degrees.

So imagine this morning, thinking we were about to get a nice warm front coming through, dressing for a nice, four-mile run, only to get out in the crunchy snow to find it is ZERO DEGREES!

Off to the treadmill I went. Like a hamster. Sweating profusely in too much clothing. (Of course, I couldn’t be bothered with changing into my treadmill gear. You know, didn’t have much time. That kind of thing.) I loathe treadmill running. So I did intervals. Lunges. More intervals. Inverted sit-ups. More intervals. I saw 150 calories burned go by and ran some more. Perfect.

And then I ordered a cheddar burger for lunch.

Did you run on your treadmill today? How did you manage to keep yourself sane?

May your next run be a good one.
