Hit the TM because of the ice and wind chill, and walked for a half-mile, stretched, then ran 1 @ 6 mph and 1 @ 7 mph.

Since I'm normally in the habit of only showering after a run, it's been 3 days since my last shower.  Just thought I'd share that.

Oh my! Cough. Ahem. Well, how did your legs feel on the run?

Please shower! I can smell ya from here.

Actually, when it is that cold, no one stinks so I think you are good.

Quads still a little sore, but I think a little jogging helped them.

Kelli - I know, how bad could I have been if I never sweated? Anyway, I'm good and clean now.

THANKS, we appreciate it. Nice to see you are running so soon. Please avoid the ice.

It seems to be brutally cold and windy just about everywhere. I can't wait for spring.

As for not showering, I did that a couple of weeks ago, indavertantly. I did three good runs and completely forgot to take a shower for three days because we had so many things going on. It completely slipped my mind.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 22:41:02 from 184.79.24.255

See, the running automatically triggers the signal to shower in my brain. If I ever stop running I'm in big trouble...actually it's everyone else that's in trouble.

From DaleG on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 23:05:56 from 152.216.7.5

I'm surprised my family didn't tell me I smelled badly. Maybe I didn't. That would be a first.

From Tracy on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 08:06:45 from 173.23.75.96

Glad you finally broke down and washed some stink off!

From Rye on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 16:45:26 from 71.209.59.65

I wonder what the non runners do to trigger body cleansing. Joe, you stink...

From SlowJoe on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 20:29:12 from 184.79.24.255

In the olden days, back in '09, I think I used to shower right after I woke up. What was the point?
