Cold Run

1 brave thing: Running in the 20s

My brave moment came early this morning. After sleeping in during the holidays, my alarm jolted my body to attention at 5 am. With the temperatures in the 20 degrees, it was cold, and it was time to train. From 5:30-6:15 am I joined my F3 brothers for a workout. Then, after the workout, I went on a solo 35-minute training run.

Why it matters. I proved to myself I could train in the cold weather. Because my next race is in March, I’ll need to be ready for a wide range of weather.

Connecting with friends helped overcome the fatigue. I was tired the rest of the day and did not have the same creative energy for work. I’m listening to the book “Why We Sleep,” which makes me painfully aware of how important sleep is to our lives and health.

Three for three baby!
