The school I teach at on Mondays is on their mid-winter break this week, so I had the day off.
I actually planned ahead for tonight's dinner when I was at the store yesterday (which pretty much never happens). Pot roast and veggies were cooking away in the Instant Pot by 10am. That thing is seriously handy - especially with our limited kitchen and the sub-zero temperatures we've been having.
Negative wind chills just don't scream grilling weather.
Our weather is supposed to be all over the place this week. We were down to -10 this weekend (not counting the wind chill), and it's supposed to be around 53 tomorrow. It snowed this morning and is supposed to turn to rain sometime in the night.
I changed into my running gear this morning and then proceeded to sit around and play on my computer for a while. I can't just head straight out the door. That would be weird.
After about an hour of procrastination, I finally hit the road. It was not warm.
Running in the cold is tricky. I always manage to be too hot in some places, and too cold in others. I kept pulling my neck gaiter down because it would be too much, and then it would freeze, and my face would freeze, so I would pull it back up again.
I have been really good about rolling out my yoga mat lately, even after Yoga Camp ended. Seriously, I've done at least 10 minutes (usually more) of yoga every day this month. I'm convinced it is helping my running and recovery since it is a good combination of strength and stretching - two things I pretty much don't do otherwise.
I had to try this beer. I kept seeing it at the store, and I finally bought some yesterday.

This beer smells amazing, but sadly does not taste as good as it smells. It was ok, but not anything I would buy again.
I like cold weather, but this is a bit too much, I'm really looking forward to warmer runs. At least warm enough not to need the headband anymore :)
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of runs in slightly warmer weather. I don't have to wear tons of layers that way. The sub zero temps have been a little intense lately!
DeleteGood for you sticking to yoga every single day! I am impressed and wish I would stick to the same. You know, the only time I swear to myself that I will do it is right after I have an injury. When I feel better again, I forget! My bad! Too bad that porter didn't really taste like s'mores! I tried a Sriracha Hot Stout during the super bowl. It was really good because it wasn't weird, like hot sauce tasting beer, but it had a nice little kicky after-taste. I would definitely drink that again! I hope you degrees get up there. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI've had some really good spicy beers. My friend's dad brews green chile beer, it's amazing!
DeleteI always put on my running gear and then putz around forever before heading out. The kid will ask "Aren't you done yet?" And I'm like, "I haven't even started."
ReplyDeletehaha I'm glad it's not just me. I swear I will hang out in my running gear for hours before I head out of the door!
DeleteRunning in the cold can feel soo good and at the same time so painful! The amount of layers needed are stressful! But you are my hero for getting out there and getting it done!
ReplyDeleteThat beer looks like it would be very sweet! I once bought a wine because it said that it would taste like Chocolate strawberries, it ended up being really sweet... I finished it, but didn't like it. Your beer made me think that this is something I would buy because it looks good!
I get so tired of all the layers! Running in the cold definitely makes me feel tough though!
