Frozen Assets

The rule of thumb is that if the weather is zero degrees or the wind chill dips below -20, then group training outdoors will be cancelled.
This Saturday was kind enough to deliver such sub-zero temperature and wind chill.
I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I was absolutely greatful not to have to run in those conditions. On the other hand, that meant I had to make up the workout another way.
Instead of freezing outdoors, I elected to go to a Bikram Yoga class on Saturday. The room was a humid 105 degrees and the light-headedness I experienced allowed me to pretend that I was actually drunk in some kind of strange tropical resort rather than living on a tundra for the day.
Today I ran six miles on a treadmill just to get the gears moving. I think this weekend actually did me some good. Instead of running on tense muscles from the cold, I got to stretch them out really well.
Well, we'll see how it goes next week.
