AM: 8 "easy" + alternate core routine, foam rolling
PM: 5 easy
8 easy turned into trudging through a foot of snow in some places on an unplowed Mt. Vernon trail, causing the run to be a little more taxing. Cold, at 17 degrees but not too bad. Wind chills will be in the negatives the next two mornings. It's supposed to be 12 with -7 wind chill tomorrow morning. Friday morning 2 degrees with a -16 windchill. Absolutely insane. This kind of weather for days on end is where it gets really tough to maintain motivation and your sanity. My skin is dry, chapped, and itchy despite lathering up in lotion and I'm getting a little down with the thought of running through this bull shit but I guess it's winter and with global warming large temperature fluctuations are probably only going to get worse in my lifetime. remember Last week Sunday when it was 63 and calm? Feels like 6 months ago.
