I got home from work and my new Saucony Mirage 2's had arrived!  It was pretty much dark out, but there was no mistaking the neon green & blue kicks on my dogs!  They felt amazing and I probably pushed a little too hard for the first go around.  I'll have to ease in to them since there is so much less of a drop in them compared to my Mizunos.

Freezing cold run.... even with all the layers.

It's in the high teens, but the wind chill makes it comparable to single digits.  The weather has been wacked this winter.... just a couple of days ago high 40's and then a day or two later a 20 degree swing downward.

There's a saying in New England.....  "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it will change".

Lunch time @ work.  I went across the street to the gym and ran on the treadmill.  Uneventful.  Ridiculously cold outside.

It is the coldest day in two years according to the local news..... I think it was 2 degrees when I got it my car and drove to the gym. (4:15am)  I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and thought I was the first person there, until about 3 minutes into the run, an old man who resembled Santa came out of the bathroom.  Needless to say, I was a bit shocked and wondered how long he had been in there.  The lights in the gym are all on sensors, since it's a 24hr facility and the place was completely dark when I arrived.  Another thing is..... there aren't any showers at this gym, so what was Santa doing in there?

I was happy when a couple of other fellas arrived minutes later..... crazy Santa!

Lunch time @ the gym across from work.  I wish I had a longer lunch break.
