Living in the Northeast has it's positives - like a beautiful spring and a not too hot summer. It also has it's negatives - a fucking miserable winter that seems never ending. This winter has been quite peculiar as in it hasn't snowed a shit ton but it has been cold as fuck. With the temperatures being so cold it has made this spring marathon training quite crappy.
In today's lesson I've learned that sometimes you just have to suck it up. Actually, this whole week as been a whole "man up" kind of week. I did manage 40 mile week even though I was aiming more for 50... Thursday was so cold that it had a windchill of -17 degrees. That's not normal. And I highly recommend never running in temperatures that low.
Even today's run was cold. Not as cold but just as miserable. I refuse to succumb to the dreadmill. I'd rather be crazy and suffer the cold and shitty roads than only run 4 miles on the mill.
In short, dress warm and don't bitch. Except tomorrow. Tomorrow I can be a bitch and run on the mill.
