All we need now is for Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel to be broadcasting live.
My frustration with the constant cold and my schedule of going from one inside training session to another at the same times has caused me to jumble it up a bit. I forced in two runs outside in the past few days. I also changed my regular workout hours some. All just to try and break up the monotony and maybe this streak of cruddy weather.
The outside runs were fairly enjoyable but once again a bit forced with air temps still in the mid 30's with some seriously cool winds. Oh what I would give for a nice warm run. Oh well, my first run was in some new surroundings. Due to a rather full schedule on Sunday I chose to break away a bit early from a great family get together for my grandmother's 99th birthday celebration. I ran the Pensey trail in Greenfield. This is another example of converting old railways in to paved paths that are wonderful to run on. I ran the entire western leg of the trail for a very enjoyable 8 mile run. I found it to be a great chance to reflect on the family get together as well as chance to enjoy the scenery and memories of Greenfield. I guess one benefit of the late winter run was the visibility from the trail was uninhibited and gave a scenic symphony of small town Indiana.
In addition to, I have swum at lunch, at night and got off the bike a bit to hit some spin classes. The changes have been somewhat refreshing and a welcomed relief. Now we sit with a forecast of 53 for Saturday. I am crossing my fingers that I will be on the open road for a ride with a brick run to follow. But as Cantore loves to say... stay tuned........
P.S. In a follow up to one of my recent posts about my daughter and her swims, she just came off of a fantastic meet in which she cut serious times across the board and earned a podium in the mile. Her mother and I are so proud of her efforts and accomplishments this swim season. The winter season is over for her. I will miss my morning swim buddy.
