WAITING to RUN until the ACTUAL temp and the FEELS LIKE temp MATCH at a more suitable enjoyable state.  CURRENTLY temp is 20 degrees but FEELS LIKE  7!!!!!!!!   SEVEN degrees--- freak me out no way!!  I was chilled to the bone yesterday even after my long hot shower.   The humidity level nose dives as the sun gets higher in the sky---ALLELUYAH.  The best time to run looks about high NOON but will probably run at 11am as both temps match then at 36 degrees : D.  Maybe I should go at 9am but still I just looked and it say 25 degrees feels like 17.  NOPE not doing that again.  So off I go to wash my blinds.  I started yesterday and I have 34 windows-- actually 30 now since I finished four yesterday. It is a 7 day process.  I don't want to get overwhelmed.  I haven't cleaned them in four years.  Sad huh? but working nights I didn't care or see or whatever but now that I am not running as much and its freezing out and we are having a homecoming at my house on Sunday and I don't leave my windows open in the Winter--- I am getting to them.  WOW the cleaned ones look LIKE NEW!!! : D.    1045am  ahhhhhh warm!!  wore all the fixins' of course.  But better than this morning would have been.  AP easy pace 8:33.  Was pretty tired starting out and ending.  Cyycling must have wore me out a bit.  Finished up with 72  ppush ups per schedule.  : :D.  Feel really strong.  Biceps and triceps bulging these days : D.  btw I just had my vision checked so I am typing this with very blurry vision. Sorry for any typos.  I can't see anything on the computer screen.  Pretty funny.I can see colors sso I know how to save this to the blog  at least.   PM-- Cycling class with my daughter Courtney.  I was tired heading out the door but after that class I sure woke UP!!!  LOVIN' CYCLING! :D
