This morning I woke up to a temperature of 9F, with the windchill at -9.  Soooo, I took some gym clothes to work; by lunch it warmed up to -4 windchill.  Soooo, I hit the gym treadmills but it was hot inside and I was sweating buckets.  Soooo, I sped up the last couple miles to get it over with.  7:42 AP.

Tomorrow morning looks ridiculously cold too, but the afternoon looks perfect; I will be back out on the roads tomorrow and maybe get in some better mileage.

Good call on speeding it up once you started sweating buckets. Keep up the good work. 92 rules!

I saw you at the gym and it really wasn't that hot in there. Just sayin'. But good job on speeding it up.

Yuck! What's going on in Texas with the temps.... It appears to me that you had better watch out for stalkers at your gym....

I knew you would agree with my logic Burt.

Danielle - are you saying I didn't sweat buckets?

Not sure Rye, I think we're getting our cold-weather appreciation week. And I did a little revenge stalking at her Pump-it class.
