Cold Cold Cold

Today was supposed to be a moderate 5 miler. The 10 degree/-5 wind chill plus snow covered roads took care of that. I may "have a screw loose" as my bride says but I'm not crazy. Flexibility? I think this winter is going to be a test of my flexibility.

It's interesting how age tempers our outlook on things. If this weather hit 20 years ago, I would have just layered and run. Now? Hell no. I tell myself that I can always do it tomorrow and that the threat of injury (and more significant recovery time) isn't worth the risk. Sometimes I think I'm getting soft. Sometimes I think I'm getting wise. Sometimes I don't think. Sound familiar?

Ben told me that he might like a gym membership for Christmas. Yea! Enough said.
