Woo hoo! After a week long hiatus due to plenty of (sometimes valid) excuses, I finally got myself out the door to do a fartlek I have been planning. I am realizing there are two big hurdles to get me running in the morning: 1) getting out of bed, and 2) getting out the door. But today, with a little moaning, I overcame both! 

Have you ever realized you have no sense of temperature when you are done running? I have to feed my turtle when I get home by putting him in a small tank that I fill with room temperature water. But after I run I have no clue what room temperature is because everything feels burning hot.

Today I am meeting my Environmental Science labs out by a creek where we will be picking up trash, in conjunction with "Clean Virginia's Waterways." Hopefully we don't get rained out but its looking like a bust :(

i feel your pain with the morning running, and the temperature phenomenon has always baffled me; i can be absolutely freezing to death on a winter morning just walking a little way outside all bundled up, but give me a mile to warm up, and i can be down to shorts and shoes in no time...

(and sometimes a good fartlek just feels awesome...)
