I thought this was a cool name for a winter race. I seen it on a shirt the other day. While we're not quite at chilly willy weather yet, today was a gentle reminder that it's coming. You have to have an entirely different running mindset when the cold and wind start sneaking in. You just have to accept that the first 10 minutes or so is gonna be uncomfortable, and get out the door and get started. No lolly-gagging down the driveway. After you get going it really is quite amazing how the body adapts.
It never really hit me how significant that adaptation is until I was out later getting groceries. I had a jacket, over a sweater, over a t-shirt, and I was freezing. During my run at a slightly lower temperature I wore a long sleeved t-shirt, and shorts....mind you gloves as well.
I felt pretty decent, finally shaking the last of the trail race stiffness. Although I was kinda slow I was in total control for the entire 30 kms.
And that's it! Here's your smile of the day from the local grocery store.

Is that in case you can't do the math? It think it would be funny if it said 500/$400.00 or $.80 ea.
Now I gotta tell ya. I know that's a really good price, and we like green beans, so I bought ten cans. Not nine! Not eleven! Somehow I still feel like they got me :)
