Freakin' Cold

The hardest part of indoor track is dealing with the cold days when there is no practice. Having a day or two off of practice is hard enough - it's easy to say "I deserve a day or two off", but having the temperature in the teens or lower makes it extra tough.

The important thing is to deal with it. Bundle up and get out the door if it's your only option. Use a treadmill or cross-train if you can. But, get some training done!

Of course, I'll have to practice what I preach. Not so much with the training - that has held up pretty well, despite the cold and the overload at work; however, it has been almost two weeks since a posting here - I have to be more consistent. Of course, you can all help with that: I am always willing to include a guest posting, so take your best shot and send it over.

Well, I might just take you up on that coach and make my own post. But you are right it is kind of hard to tell yourself to run when it is in the teens with a slight wind chill. I enjoy it though because it helps to appriciate the warmer weather when it comes. So as long as it is cold, I will think of the summer when I run. Peace out!
