Oh my gosh, I ran outside! Yes, you read that correctly. It only took me, oh, 24 days into the new year to run outside. However, it was a group run so I still haven’t broken out the Garmin. I try to go electronics-free when I run with others. It was a balmy 37 degrees during our evening run. Our meeting point was about a half-mile from my apartment, so I got in a nice warm up then and a cool-down on the way home. So all in all it was a little over 4 miles of running.
And I kinda forgot running outside can be hard. I had trouble catching my breath a few times and my throat felt too dry and cold to swallow a few times. But I am so glad I finally broke out of the gym.
However, as you may have heard, Philadelphia was by a pretty intense snowstorm, so we’ve got about 16 inches of the white stuff on the ground plus 3 inches of ice that won’t come off the sidewalks or roads. So my Friday night will consist of 3 miles on the ‘mill and 30 minutes of bike riding.
Happy Weekend!
