Back in the saddle...not really.

Well I am back working out. Today I ran then swam. Swimming is very hard when you do something tiring before it. I ran 4.1 miles in 30 min on the dreadmill and then swam for 30 mins alternating laps between breast stoke and freestyle. I was able to convince Capt Cueball to run and swim with me. It was fun having someone to endure my pain with. He did the same amount of time as I did, but just different distances. He just had a surgery on his man parts recently and is still a bit sore. Give him sometime.
I have kind of stopped riding my bike to work. It has gotten cold here in orlando (I know cold is relative to people in the N.E.) and biking to work in the cold is not an idea I am fond of. I didn't ride yesterday because it was cold. I was going to man up and ride today, but it was cold AND windy. If hadn't been windy I might have done it, but the combination is a tough one to over come. I have been told that when it gets cold in FL, wait a few days and it will warm up again. I surely hope so cause I might need to get warm workout clothes. I can't fathom how people in NYC run in the snow. That is retarded. If you can see your nose breath, you have business being outside for ANY reason. I am ok with your mouth breath, but if you can see your nose breath... stop what you are doing and go back inside.
Top 5 reasons not to go out into the cold...
1. I am skinny and cold to me is probably much colder than it is to you
2. Sometimes you can't simply put on more clothes to warm up
3. Nose breath... you have to be insane to be outside if you can see it
4. Cause warm is just so much nicer and way more enjoyable
5. Because the cold sucks. Flat out, it sucks

Goes On Runs said...

well you are just retarded... there really is nothing quite like going for a run when there has been a snow and it covers the ground around where you are running. there is a peace and quietness to it that is unparalleled. and they do make clothes that are just right..... you can still sweat when it is 20 degrees outside. that is my limit. i won't run when it is below 20. just so you know.
