Frozen Wobbly Bits

So I've officially begun training again ( I can say that cause I've done the run for day 1 of the half marathon training so I am now "in training" ) and I've started running with Sarah ( of "Sarah and Shaun" or "the people with the PADS Dog" - for those of you whose life is just a little less bright because you dont know Sarah yet). I love running with Sarah cause she's a real-live grown up who owns her own house and has a dog so we talk about mortages and interests rates and sometimes I pretend that my bank account has money in it and I'm mature enough to potty train a puppy. But she really is lovely and even when she's not educating me in the ways of the world we have great conversations!

We are quite the pair running together though because Sarah runs with almost every piece of clothing she owns on her body. Ok so maybe not that much but she's got sweats, a long sleeve shirt, a short sleeve shirt, a jacket, a toque and gloves on. And I'm wearing shorts and a running shirt. Now that we've hit January I've started wearing a long sleeve shirt but we're still pretty unevenly dressed! So because of Hawaii and Christmas and colds and birthdays and some other things that have gotten in our way for 3 weeks, yesterday was the first day we've gotten to run together and it also happened to be the coldest day of the winter so far! Short of it actually snowing on us while we ran, it couldn't have been colder! The kind of cold that makes all my wobbly bits not so wobbly CAUSE THEY'RE FROZEN TO ME! The kind of cold where her neighbor had just washed his car and the water run off had made the side walk an ice rink ( Dont worry, I didn't fall! ).

But you know what, I'm gonna keep running in my short running shorts cause its about the only thing I've got going for me in the toughness department. I'm really ok with the fact that I'm the weakest person I know. I have no upper body strength, I am a WUSS, I'm afraid of heights and most other things, Im SO jumpy you'd think I just came back from the war and the other day I had to get my pregnant friend to open my travel mug that was closed to tight... BUT... I RUN IN SHORT SHORTS IN JANUARY!!!
