11/14 Plans: yoga
11/15 Plans: run
Friday's plan worked out just fine. I got home from work and did a basic 20 minutes that were aimed at my abs. Saturday's plans, on the other hand, changed a bit.
I got home from work and was needed on roof patrol. I have to say, it was cold. NOAA said it was 33 degrees, with a slight north wind. It felt far colder than that. The wind cut through all my layers (and I was layered and hatted and gloved) and felt like it was coming down from the Arctic tundra.
I wussed out and decided I wasn't going to attempt a run. I think being outside is worse because you know how cold it is. If you are inside and decide to go out for a run, you get all ready and just go. It's freezing but you are already down the driveway so you suck it up. Once you are out and already cold, it is hard to go in and change, knowing you are going to be running away from the warmth of your house. I suppose some people would just run faster to get back to the warmth. Not me.
I did yoga instead. But, to be fair, I picked an older one that I haven't done in some time. It was longer than my probable run. The first time I attempted this particular routine, I almost didn't make it through the whole thing. So I think that it evened out in the long run. It was most likely harder than my run would have been anyway.
