TAN 202: A bunch of rotTAN apples (Page 64)

Brrrrrr, TAN! Currently 12 and feels like -7. Snow doing that ghost-swirly-thing all over the already packed roads. Making soup tonight FO SHO.
Hope you all are warm and cozy today.

TODAY IS GOING TO BE SO CRAY CRAY.

i'm too old to be saying things like "totes"

duh

You might win. We were only at -14 wind chill this morning...

It's unseasonably cold here too, but I'm not going to embarrass myself trying to compare numbers.

Let's just say, I may have to wear a stocking cap in addition to my fleece pullover on tonight's run.

only -25 with wind chill in balmy southwest Iowa.

It's unseasonably warm in my area. While I don't want the frigid arctic cold the rest of the country is getting, we do need some precipitation out here as another dry winter will make our drought conditions even worse. Some areas are even in elevated fire risk due to dry and warm conditions, something that is normally unheard of during the winter.

I'm cold just looking at those numbers. Brrrrr!!

Why do so many people choose to live in this kind of misery? I just don't get it! 

I don't mind it. I love having a TRUE four seasons every year. 
Plus, this particular cold front is hitting nearly the entire country... unless you live in south Florida - it's pretty cold everywhere!

Plus, running in negative temps is way more badazz than running in the mid 40s. 

Dreadmill and drainer for me in the winters.  My feet get cold when riding a bike in the spring and fall sometimes.  They are terrible in the winter months for running or biking.  I see others run in the winter and wish my feet and hands could take the cold.  I used to love running when it was snowing.

I really don't like running in the cold (below 40 degrees) and I really hate it being cold AND windy. Yesterday the high was 38, with a strong wind, but it was sunny. I was on the treadmill at the gym. 

Since December I've done shorter runs in the 3-6 mile range on the treadmill and a 8 and 9 mile run on the treadmill. 

I hope it warms up soon so I'll be doing 10-12 miles on a treadmill too! 

And yes, the treadmill can be boring, but I play mental tricks with myself to make it tolerable. First I'll break the run up into segments. For example, my 9 mile run was broken up by 3, 4 and 3 miles. The first 3 miles was easy. For the 4 mile segment I played with the incline and pace. For the final 3 miles my goal was to push the pace and negative split it. I also get OFF the treadmill between segments just to get a mental break. I get off, do a quick walk through the gym, and I get back on. 

If you're not going to get the hot tub up and running right away, be sure to have the pipes blown out. They will freeze and burst much like a sprinkler system that is not "winterized."

I'm hitting up spin class tonight, then a mile or two on the treadmill. I had big plans to go straight from work but forgot my sports bra AND sweats for after. Looks like I'm making a quick stop by home first.

TT question.  Anyone remember the old version of BT when in your logs/blog they had a quick summary of the weeks workouts on the left side of the page?  Any way to get that or do I just have to go to my training page?  I sort of like all the essentials on one page.
