We've officially hit the cold ceiling in Chicago. It's too cold to be outside for just about anything. So cold, in fact, that this morning I made the executive decision to not go to the gym. I slept in...I know, I'm ashamed of myself too, but I really couldn't help it. It was either walk there (and I'm thinking frostbite is not sexy) or wait on the train platform (...still not sexy).
So today is a gym-free day, and I'm just going to have to be okay with that.
In other news, due to the recession, I might not be able to train with my CES people for the Spring. This means I would be...training solo! I don't know why this is a difficult concept for me to master. Everything else I do is well, solo, so training for races shouldn't be an issue, right? I don't know whether I'm afraid I won't be working hard enough or that I'll slack off, but I'm a little nervous. And a bit sad. I like running with my people and I've made some pretty great friendships, too. We'll see what happens.
I apologize for the lack of blogging, once again! There's just not much to talk about running-wise, when I'm not running. I could regale you with stories from the gym, but the most exciting thing that has happened is that two women got in a fight for my locker on Monday night.

I left right before the cold spell hit NH. It's about 40 F here in England. VERY warm compared to where you're at.
Good luck not freezing! :)
couldn't you still run with the friends you have made? maybe set up a run once a week or something?
not jealous of that cold... brrr :(
There is a reason why some mammals sleep through this season.
Everyone here is complaining about the cold and it's well above zero (it is currently 12). Though it's cold, I have known much colder (25 years in Chicago...) My cut-off for running outside was single-digits. But you are tough--you'll survive. Best of luck ;)
