Less than 12 hours left in January. Not that I am wishing my life away, just this horrible, freezing cold, bill paying, depressing, what have I got to look forward to, nothing month.
February has got to be better. Not even that cinnamon heart holiday is going to bring me down. It’s not January and that’s what I am clinging onto.
This January has made me realize I am really not cut out for winter running. Sorry, let me re-phrase that. I am not cut out to run in frigid arctic conditions. It is not enjoyable. I am meant to do other things, I just know it.
So, I start fantasizing about what I think I am meant to do. Like win the lottery. I am drawn to instant riches, rather than work long and hard for it. I am not one of those people who would appreciate it more if they worked for it.
Then I spend countless hours spending my winnings. After I prove I am a good person with charitable donation, set up parents up on an around the world cruise and take some friends out for a slap up night on the town. It’s all about me, me, me. I purchase houses in foreign lands. Sexy cities like Paris and New York. Tropical villas in Bora Bora and St Barts. A cultural retreat in Tuscany. I learn a new language with ease. Buy shoes til my closets explode. Take a lova or two.
Me and my new lova, apparently I dye my hair brown.
Then I realize it’s still January, I haven’t bought a lottery ticket and I have to run tonight and it’s discovery channel cold out there.
Uhm - that picture is ME. I have brown hair already. See - so it has to me. And you can't tell how hot my guy is, but he is - let me tell ya. And I'm drinking a very high calorie drink, but I don't care because I'm not one of those girls that gains weight. UMPH - back to reality.
Shite you have to buy a ticket to win...that would explain why my millions haven't come rolling in yet. Don't worry, I'm not a frigid temps runner either and I feel very proud of it. I want to run when it's warm and sunny, if that makes me a fair weather runner well so be it.
You would so dye your hair brown if that's what it took! :D
Well February is shorter... It's got to warm up soon. We also have 9 on the 9th to look forward to !
I don't know. You ran 155km in January - that's not bad. We have the opposite problem down here - January is too bloody hot!
I couldn't agree more, running in the cold is no fun. I am eagerly awaiting Spring!
I'm with you. Cold weather running sucks a. And Januarys are turning into sad months in my household.
But, the days are getting longer which means spring's a-comin'!!
