Yes, you are reading that right. It was almost 7:30 am and it was 8 degrees. Let me be clear, that's Farenheit, not Celsius. When I saw that I said to myself, no way are you going running today, you can go home and play Just Dance instead. In fact, all throughout the day I had no intentions of doing any hardcore working out. It's not exactly that I'm lazy during the day, but I do a lot of traveling. I don't have a set classroom so I spend a lot of time walking up and down stairs to pick up my groups of students. That in itself is quite a workout. Usually by the time I make it to the 3rd floor my lungs are burning. (You try carrying your entire days lessons and work around with you and see how you feel!) Moving right along here, when I left school this afternoon it had warmed up significantly to a balmy 25 degrees. I still had no intentions to run, but I changed into my workout clothes to walk the dogs. Then a strange thing happened. After I walked good old Nala, I went to take Stella out. Suddenly though, I was driving to the beach ready for a run. What?????????? I had zero plans all day to run and now here I was going towards the ocean and pumped for running. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME????? Of course the beach was cold, but we made our trek down to Nahant and back, in just under 30 minutes. I'm going to pretend that I didn't eat cookies and drink chocolate milk when I got home. Now I'm sitting here watching How I Met your Mother and listening to Neil Patrick Harris sing Dirty Deeds. Which is making me wish I had that song on my running list. As well as some Motley Crue. I need to get a serious reality check here. Those would be terrible running songs.
