Yet Another 3 Miles!!!

Hello... It's 4:55am, I'm sitting here before my 3 mile run, and I wondering "why do I do this to myself"?  What, you ask? LoL...  I have planned a 5:20am run with my cheerful and bubbly friend Heather Vaughn in this cold weather... Ugg... I know I'm just complaining right now, but I can't stand the cold... And, I am up at the crack A$$ of dawn... blah blah blah...I thought these days were over... I have to give my runner friends credit where credit is due.  They have BOOBIES of STEEL(of course they are all women).   I have to credit their dedication for  getting up EARLY, I mean real EARRRLY, I'm not talking 7am, I'm talking 4 to 5am, so they can go run, get their miles  in for their marathon training. I'm talking about running in the cold, the rain, the sleet, thunder storms, blizzards,hurricanes, tornadoes (ok ok, I know, I am being extreme  now, but you get the picture, LMAO).  And, for that my friends I bow my head and give you a CURTSY!!

Well I'm going to cut it short for now, I have to go and freeze my bunnies off... 

Be back in a few to continue!

Whooo... Hoooo... Hey I'm slowly back on track... Two, 3 mile runs this week... LMAO!!  Yeah, I'm blowing my own horn.  Today's 3 mile run wasn't as bad as I had anticipated... It was cold, I think it was like 31-32 degrees outside(that's cold to me) but it wasn't all that bad.  I will say I need to get something thinner, and lighter to wear, other then my Old Navy hoodie, but something that will keep me warm.  Not to mention,  I need to really buy some running/compression tights, I could probably use them for cycling as well. One thing I don't like about running in the cold is the BULKINESS of all the clothing layers, plus all the additional crap you carry on long runs.  Most time I feel like Pack Mule, Hee Haw, Hee Haw!!!  Yeah that would be me, the JACK ASS with all the stuff... I carry lots of stuff, but that would be mainly for long runs...

This would be me on a long run!!

Anyway, I think I am rambling now!!! (o:

I ran the same route as I did on Monday, it took me 1 minute and 17 seconds longer, and I ran it straight.  Now, I have considered a number of things: cold, heavier clothing, just being slow, not  keeping myself at a consistent pace, all sorts of stuff, I just think its kinda funny, because I thought I was doing good just running straight.  Imagine my surprise when I looked at my Garmin and it took longer!   Funny Ha Ha!!   It was good run, my calves and legs still felt heavy, but nonetheless a good run... Conversation and company are always a great thing to have on a run at least for me it is...   I will give this run a THUMBS UPPERS!! ~The best part of running is the finish line!
