If you should die while crossing the street

I really don't like the cold. Even briefly, just these few days below freezing. I feel uncomfortable, unmotivated, though not (fortunately) unwell. Just a brief dip into the 20s, it's not much of a winter. But I'm not crazy about it. 

Still got some new gear yesterday, new gloves and pants, ordered what I couldn't find in stores online.

Distance: 2.3 miles

Duration: 23:50
Pace:  10:20

Route: Horizon Loop (clockwise)

Temperature: 38°
Climate: bright & cool

Pavement: dry w/some patchy snow
Mood: tired

 

"Clockwise" for the Horizon Loop means I begin with a hill for about a quarter mile. Then it's downhill for the rest of the mile and then mostly flat. Today was the first day I have felt stiff and tired, but it's an evening run not a morning run, so there's your difference.

What was 1979? One snow day we made a disco in George's basement, and tried to get girls to come over. The end of elementary school. The family visited Norway. I started middle school, and that's where my troubles began.

Baseline: 195 lbs.

Current: 188.5 lbs. (+0.5)

Goal: 185 lbs.

We have leveled off at 188 pounds. This is what I weight, eating modestly and with regular exercise. I am hoping that, as the weather improves, I will be able to burn more calories I do not care to consume less than I am currently.
