Seriously Frozen...

(26 degrees and not a cloud in the sky)

So, today as I set off for my run, the temperature gauge said it was 26 degrees outside. This is absurd! It is so freaking cold. We are all just waiting for our 45 degree rain to come back!

Despite the cold, it was a great run!

I think is is time to give a shout out to the company I work for! I wouldn't be as successful without my great gear! For the first time I understand why they go to such great lengths to make "running" apparel for all climates and people. I was properly dressed in my fabulous new pants (Moving Comfort's Cold Weather Tight), they have fleece on the inside and aren't as fitted as most "tights." I love them. Seriously, my legs were not cold! At all.

I was also wearing my Brooks VaporDry 3D Hoodie and Brooks LSD Thermal Vest. Both of which are awesome! I have to work extra hard to keep my core warm becuase of my asthma, and these two items seem to be doing the trick! The Hoodie has little "flip wrist cuffs" that keep your hands warm! With an Equilibrium LS underneath and a fabulous Moving Comfort Sports Bra (never going back to any other brand, ever!) I was set. Oh yeah, my shoes are great too! The Ravenna's, I adore them. And they are pretty. They are super light too, they don't feel like I am carrying a ton of bricks a long with my every step! They seem to be holding up nicley too, I hate when I get new shoes and you go for a run in the rain and you are afraid to get them dirty, the color on these shoes seem to be weathering those days nicely.

I have been rocking out to the Glee Soundtrack on my runs! I love this show and the music is great! I am sure when I run past people they look at me oddly becuase I am sure I am singing out loud and don't realize it!

I got an email from my mentor (Megan) this week reminding me that there are incentives in place for those who hit fundraising goals! I am $200 off from my first incentive. If I can reach $1000 by Dec. 21st, then I get a TnT Hoodie. You all know how much I LOVE sweatshirts! Any donations, of any size/kind would be extreamly appreciated!

Anyhoo! Thanks to all of you for keeping up with my journey! I am doing great and am working hard!
