28*. Windy... very windy... 4:15pm, with an expected sunset of 5:15pm. But it's cloudy, so it's getting dark fast.
Stephan says, "It'll be colder tomorrow. If you're going to get this done, you should do it now."
Sigh. I don't wanna.
But I do. I need 5 miles in the next two days to finish off my 40 for the month of January. Polar Vortex 2014 hasn't helped my new goals. But today (er, yesterday)... today I can't be stopped.
Cue Miley Cyrus.
(NO! Don't cue that. Never mind.)
The wind is really harsh. The slush-covered-ice is like running on a beach. But people haven't shoveled their sidewalks, so occasionally I chose to run through shin-deep snow. At 3 miles I'm back at the house chugging water out of a tiny kids' water bottle, and I decide to pull the last 2 out of my whiny self.
And I do! But seriously, at 13+ minutes per mile, it was definitely more of a slog than a run. But it happened! Yay me!

Woo-hoo! And now you've earned your bragging rights for the day (plus your celebratory beverage of choice).
Woop! Good work!!!
Thanks guys!! Part of my encouragement is knowing a few people will read about what I do, and that keeps me accountable.
