People in Colorado always use the same excuse when asked about the winter, 'Yeah, but it is not that cold because it is sunny'. I'll give you sunny (300 days!) but when you feel your nose hair start to freeze, even after you just used a nose hair clipper, it is too cold. I do not care that it is sunny. The high was 12 Monday, a day after a blizzard, all the facebook pictures of 1 degree temps in the car, and I needed to run 4 miles.
I chose to run inside on a treadmill. I refuse to pay to run (I'm getting paid to do this!) so I'm taking advantage of a free week long trial at the athletic club two blocks away. This club, as it should only be called a club not a gym, is a swanky joint. See and be seen type place, not a lot sweat and a lot of flat screen TVs describes the atmosphere in there. Since I work from home and in sweats, I have to put on real clothes to go workout there. Needless to say, the place is fantastic and around 5pm it is better than most happy hours. Santa might be getting me a membership!
Even though I've worn long underwear for a week straight, I'm still getting in my runs. Almost looking forward to 12 miles this weekend in front of the DirecTV football package at the club, Tebow will be real motivating! To date, 98 miles of training and on pace (treadmill I'm running 9:15 miles!). Food intake is only increasing, had breakfast, two lunches and two dinners today. Have a good week and pray for snow...the mountains are a little thin.
PS - Having the people in Biggest Loser Show complete a marathon only confirms what started this bet. It's just mental pain, Dugan, anyone can do it! You are going to pay up, ya old man!!
