It's coming.....Soon, this will be the view at my house. Winter is coming and guess what, I'm a wimp in the cold. There are so many studies saying how good exercising in the cold is for you(as long as you do it correctly) But honestly, I hate the cold. This, of course, puts a damper on my running goals. Sure I could bundle up and brave the weather as so many other die-hard runners do....but as mentioned above, I'm a wimp. What is a heat loving girl to do? What I've been doing since August....find a treadmill. Well, last week I finally did it. I found a used one that wasn't to beaten up for a reasonable price and now I can run without fear of old man winter.
There she is. She even folds up so I can have my craft room and my exercise room. I found another benefit...more time with my girls. I know I bought the double jogging stroller to take them with me, but due to life, I don't have as much one on one time with them as I would like. I hate taking even more of it to go for a run. This could only happen when they were both awake and happy anyway, a very rare thing. So now, 5:30 every morning my alarm goes off and I take 30 minutes to myself while they sleep to work out. I'm not anywhere near where I want to be, my legs and muscles are so weak that going at a speed of 3.5 nearly turns them to jelly. Each day I need to work a bit harder so I can run again!
