My new nick name shall be Iceman! Holy fridgen cold! I ran 4.5 this morning in the 24 degree weather. Its harder to climatize yourself when you havnt been running and just jump into the cold temps. I have to start slow with 40 degree and work my way down. I ran a 7:50 and a couple of 8 even and then a 9. Wow my legs are tight.

Holy cold. I can't imagine. I missed that you were back in the running world (I was too busy trying not to keel over LOL) I'm super excited for you... and super jealous. No wonder you might me coming down with something though... it's too cold!

Yeah I saw that this morning. 24 is just freezing. Great to see your out running again man. Keep it up. And I hope to see you on the trails.

Sorry, I hated Top Gun. I'm still calling you Sparky. (Although you are dangerous, man).

I'm glad you are running again! Running in the freezing cold is better than sitting around NOT running in the freezing cold!

Iceman is too tough of a nickname for you... How about "Mr. Popsicle"? "Walter, the red-nosed runner"? "Snow White?"

Glad to see you're back Walter!

From kungfublonde on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 16:28:59
