It's a Bit Deceiving

There were little clouds in the brilliant blue sky.  The sun was out and shining bright.  So, I thought to myself that I could run outside for a little bit.  Despite it being twenty-four degrees outside with a slight breeze, I thought that I once I picked up my pace and started sweating (which I did for a little bit), I would be able to keep myself warm.


The nice blue sky and the sly bright sun were deceiving.  The breeze was actually a light wind and even though I attempted to keep a constant pace, I just couldn't warm myself up.  Approximately almost half way into my run, I got quite cold.  I even had to place my mittens underneath my running skull cap to create "ear warmers" because my ears were beginning to hurt from the wind.  I jogged and walked the rest of the way home, making myself to a hot cup of tea once I got right inside my home.

Maybe I'll save my outdoor running for this Wednesday, where it's predicted to hit at least fifty degrees.  I also think I'll save any more outdoor running for April or May.

I know its a little bit cold in your area but I was able to run where I'm at, beacuae I wear a little warmer then you. Didn't want to go through the same as you did. What a great day to run in the sun and outside instead of running inside the gym.
