These photos were taken a week apart. How funny is life. |
Winter running vs. tropical vacation? No contest! I will choose the warmth any day but it does feel great to know that the snow can't stop me! :)
Last week I was on a tropical vacation to the beautiful St. Thomas USVI. It was a much needed getaway from the cold and busyness of life. Heat and beach and good people. What more could a girl ask for? The weather was perfect 75-80 degrees everyday.
Below are a few pictures from my trip.
This is about all the running I did on my trip :)
Then...welcome home.
The trip ended as decidedly as winter vacations do. The day after I got home a small snow storm rolled in depositing 3 inches of snow on the city. If that wasn't enough, 3 short days after followed snowmageddon2015 which buried us under almost 2 feet of snow! Good times. The pictures below show the aftermath.
Winter running has been a fun challenge.
Lately my runs have been occurring outdoors. My gym membership was up early December and I've made the decision to tough it out. I must say this morning was HARD to get out the door. I woke up to the sound of the wind whipping at the side of the house. I checked the temperature on my phone:
16 degrees, feels like -8
OMG. Something like fear passed through me.
I wasn't going far so I mustered all the courage I had. That, along with some encouragement from Twitter folks and made it out the door. I completed 2 miles. It was the most miserable 2 miles I've completed yet. But I'm proud and relieved I got a run in today.
How about you?
Are you gymin' it this winter or braving the cold?
Do you prefer winter running to summer runngin?
