It got cold today. This comes as no surprise. After all, I live in Iowa. Surprisingly enough, it hasn't been that cold yet this winter. It's all relative, so I should be more specific. I don't consider 20 degrees to be cold here in the winter. I start saying it's cold when it's about 5 degrees or below. Today the temp dropped down to 3 degrees. I may opt out on running outside for the month of January. Last year, I ran outside until January, and then retreated to the treadmill.
Yesterday I ran in the UNI Dome. I don't know why, but I really enjoy that. I love running the stairs. Yesterday I was sucking air, but it was still enjoyable. However, I was out of breath sooner than I should have been, so I'm not in as great of shape as I wish I was. Tomorrow I teach step aerobics but may also sneak over to run stairs at the Dome in the afternoon.
The privilege of running there is one of the benefits of working at UNI. I had kind of forgotten about it the last couple years, but I think I may be hooked for a while. My husband (Bill) and I ran the stairs there over Christmas break, and I remembered that there is something about running stairs that makes me feel powerful and strong. Until, of course, my legs start shaking like they are going to give out!
Well, Karl, Murphy, and I are off to bed! Can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already!
