Cold Weather Wuss

Thats right, I have become a weather wuss. My desire to run outside in the cold is marginal at best. This morning it was about -15, so I could have run outside, but I chose to go to the gym and use the treadmills. I had about 1.5 hours planned and really did not want to be sweaty and out in the cold that long. I ended up doing 1:28 on the treadmill. I then did some wieghts and abs.

Also, I think I will have to seriously look into finding another beverage besides Gatorade for racing this summer. I drank some while I was running today, and it gave me a really upset tummy. It was even diluted. I felt fine until after I started to drink. I think there must just be something about it that does not agree with me.
It will make things a little more challenging, having to carry my own fluids, but would be better than gut rot.

My knees are feeling a little achy. I think it may be a combo of almost needing new shoes, and having some tight muscles. I will try and do some massage later tonight to help it.
