I woke up to freezing temperatures this morning. Brrrrr!!! When I went out to the car, I turned on the wipers to get the "fog" off the windows. Yeah. Not fog. FROST! My windows were iced up! So I sat in the driveway for about 10 minutes while the windows defrosted. FROST! Not a common occurrence down here in November.
I got to the park and realized I was the only one there at the moment. Hmmmm...could it be because it was FREEZING?! I did my warmup walk with my hat and hood on, silently cursing the freezing air. My warmup walk ended and then it was time for my first run. 8 minutes. EIGHT minutes. The first 3 minutes were killer and then I finally caught my breath and got the feeling back in my legs. I finished the entire 8 minutes. Go me!! Then I walked for 5 minutes. The last run was another 8 minutes. Ugh. At first I thought there was no way in hell I could do it. The first 4 minutes had me swearing, the little hills were killing me, but I gave them attitude right back. The next 3 minutes were okay, and the last minute could have done me in but I wouldn't let it. Phew. I made it!! I was fairly amazed with myself as I huffed and puffed for my 5 minute cooldown walk.
Saturday's run (or it might be Sunday this time) is supposed to be 20 straight minutes. Twenty. Wish me luck.
