So, after my crash and burn from the fitness wagon yesterday, I was really excited to get a good run in this morning. I knew it would be chilly outside, so I bundled up and took off feeling awesome….for like 6 minutes.
It was freaking cold outside!!!
Ok, I might have slightly misjudged the weather; whoops! I thought it was in the 20s outside, but turns out it was only 15*. Unfortunately for me, my asthmatic little lungs will not tolerate running in that cold of weather. Duh. I felt like my lungs were on fire!! I think I made it like 3/4 of a mile before I realized it just wasn’t happening. I turned around, and walked the rest of the way home. On the bright side, it was a beautiful (cold) morning with crunchy snow under my feet. I love the sound of snow crunching while I run/walk/snowshoe/whatever. Puts me at peace 🙂
Hopefully I’ll get to the gym later and try a treadmill run (BLAH), but it depends on time. Last week of the semester = my cramming my face off. It’s not a pretty sight, my friends.
No, Tally has absolutely nothing to do with my story, but look at that face– does it not just scream, “Mom, why the hell did you only run me for 1.5 miles??!?!?!” I think she is a little put out right now!

I was gonna tell you guys my exciting news yesterday, but in light of my whole falling off the wagon thing, it didn’t seem to mesh well with my post. Anyway, I found out a few days back that I have been selected as a
FitFluential ambassador!
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what it entails yet, but I am very excited. I know many of you are also “in the club,” so I look forward to getting to know everyone even better!

Last thing, and totally and completely random. I’m always way behind on anything cool, but I was reading about this guy in the January Runner’s World (so I’m sure many of you read it too), and I found the story incredible. Even more incredible? I was talking to a friend afterwards, and turns out that Ben was my friend’s roommate in college–he knew Ben before the transformation. Such a small freaking world, I tell you, and it gets smaller every day!
Love it!!

How about you guys? What’s your max “it’s too cold, gotta head indoors” running temp?
Clearly I hit mine today. I would say anything below 20 is just too darn cold for my baby lungs.
What did you think of the video?
PS Seriously, you need to check out this giveaway over at The Athletarian. It’s pretty awesome!
