Whew Wee It's Cold Early...

Motivated by the many bloggers that posted their early morning attempts to follow the training schedule, I found myself waking way too early due to the previously mentioned Decadron shot, and got out this morning for my run. It was cold, but it was great! So far all my runs have been on an indoor track. I realized that even the slightest incline seemed like a mountain, unless I was already going down the other side. It was an awesome run, and I must say I am glad I got out in the elements. I must admit it was a refreshing experience trying to decide what that strange noise was coming from my iPod. Turns out there were birds chirping wishing me a good morning. Thanks Mark for the tips on how to help the shin pain. I don't know if it was the adrenalin of worrying about falling over backwards on asphalt, but the running backwards seemed to help. I felt better this morning than on any run. I know I'll miss these cold mornings in August, but I think I'll be heading back to the indoor track until March. You guys that have been getting in all your runs early are awesome. Happy woggin Y'all!
