Brrrrrrr

The training continues.... I have to admit I am sick of winter.  We seem to be stuck in a real rut of cruddy weather.We have gotten a blip or two of pleasantry but they have become just an awful sadistic tease.  The last couple of days have been especially brutal. We have been in the low 20's as highs with 20-30 MPH winds.  Windchills have been sub zero.  Rolling out of bed and the house in these temps is demoralizing when you see teens on your car temperature gauge. 
I am sick of: The bite of the winter wind swirling though your lightly layered work out cloths, your hands going numb when mounting the bike to the car, the seeping coldness through your body as you  make your way through a cool down walk with a sweaty body after a run, the standing on the edge of the pool knowing you have to get wet when the walk from the car turned you to an ice cube, the ever present darkness or quickly fleeting daylight, and meteorologists. 

So what do you do..... you get some motivation.  Here is some videos I watch to get me up and may give you a better visual for what this Ironman thing is.
