Day 23 - 4 miles

"Baby, it's cold outside..." - Louis Armstrong

Miles Ran: 67.8 Dollars Raised: $500

Today's run was kind of weird.. Not the best, not the worst. It was the first time I felt really cold--like, as if every breath I inhaled was an icicle to the back of my throat. And it was the first time I had to be cautious of ice and slush. Fortunately, 1) a substantial amount had melted away, and 2) since I was staying for a meeting tonight at work I was able to leave early and catch the remaining hours of sunlight.

It really is a mental game sometimes. Even if the music is pumping you along, you're feelin good, your body just wants to quit out of nowhere. There were times today where I was running uphill on Beacon Street and I could ONLY focus on the concrete 5 feet in front of me, and if I looked 6 feet or more, I felt a dip in my energy like I was deflating.
