When my alarm sounded this morning, I saw that a cold, rainy run was in my immediate future. Miles with my BRF - even frosty, soggy ones - trump miles on my lonely basement treadmill, so we headed out to run amid the raindrops. We cruised through our run and paused to stretch outside her house, as is our usual routine. As her husband left for work, he shook his head at us and said, "You two are really hardcore." I'll take that as a compliment :)
Once finished with the soggy run, however, I wanted nothing more than to be warm and dry. My badass feeling quickly morphed into a chilled-to-the-bone feeling. I endured a hot shower (no more water, please!) and piled on layers of clothes. I glanced at the clock and saw that I had 10 minutes before I had to wake my kids for school. I could do laundry. Or empty the dishwasher. Or pick up misplaced toys. Or snuggle under a blanket with a cup of coffee.
Warm at last! |
I stand by my choice ;)
