Itttssss Ssssssoooooo Coooooold!
I know I've probably been softened by a few years in the Pacific Northwest, and as soon as I hit the ground in Illinois next week I will relearn the meaning of cold, but at the moment, it seems pretty damn cold outside. The snow we got on Saturday is still on the ground! This is my fourth winter in Seattle and I've never seen snow last more than a day here before. I really liked it at first, but now I'm just coooooold!
Also, I feel like a lump. I'm dying to get some exercise, but the very thought of running, bicycling, hiking, whatever in this weather makes me want to climb under the blankets and stay there. I'm not sure why, because I've certainly skied in colder weather than this. I know, in my head, that running would actually make me feel warmer. But I can't convince the rest of me of that. How can my legs and back disagree with my brain. (Maybe I'm a dinosaur!)
