Freezing Weather!!!

So the story of the day is freezing weather.  I'm not just talking about Detroit either, people!  I wouldn't even want to visit Florida right now.  I heard it was 30 degrees at Disney.  That really stinks for people spending their hard earned money down there right now.

I'm glad I'm not down there wasting spending my money.  When I woke up this morning, this is what it looked like outside.
Out the front door
I don't know if you agree, but I even feel cold when looking at this picture.  So..................................
I opted for the treadmill.  Can't say I was too happy about it but at least all I had to do was walk downstairs instead of having to drive out to the gym in this weather.  My schedule only had four miles on it so that wasn't too bad.  Also, I set the pace at 8:27/mile which is usually slower than I end up running outside but that's really good for me(and my legs) to slow down.  Second snow day for my kids so they are very, very happy about that.  I should have been a teacher!

Have a great day and......Keep Running

    My brother and his wife are in Disney right now...they said it's crazy how cold it is over there! Great job with the run! :0) It's nice to slow down every once in a while and change up the pace a little! :0)

    I'm beginning to wish I had a treadmill! Funny how I made it through the summer running in the Georgia heat and I couldn't WAIT for winter time. And for some reason it is soo much harder to get out there in the cold than the heat (for me anyway) I can't imagine what it must be like in Detroit!! Good run though.

    I had a treadmill when I lived in New England for precisely those kind of picture mornings. Stay safe.

    I have been opting for the treadmill too.

    Fortunately for me, it is supposed to warm up quite nicely when I arrive at Disney tomorrow ...

    I ran the Disney Marathon a couple of times. One year - 30's; another year - 80's...

    Ugh - nasty weather! We got snow here, too, but not quite as much as that!

    Yup, it's cold here too. But no snow day for us. I can't TELL you how many times I kick myself for not becoming a teacher (it was on my list for a long time)....

    I'm a new follower!!! Crazy weather here too. Not snow but lots of rain, flooding, wind, and a tornado not too far away today.

    Hey that sidewalk looks half way clean, you shoulda been outside. LOL. We had fog and temps almost 15 degrees cooler than yesterday but still probably 50 degrees warmer than you. 8-)

    Snow days are definitely a perk of being a teacher! I used to love the snow days. We rarely get one of those where I live. :) Hope your kids enjoyed it!

    That really looks cold. I'm sure if I lived there I would have a treadmill as well. My son would want to move there just for the snow days!
