Lunch- 8. Starting to worry a bit. My knee, injured while not running, is not getting better. It's getting worse. Hmm.

Lunch 8 with Dan, Aaron, and Jim

I've now put on about 8 or more pounds since September. I got a skinfold test at the gym today. All my previous body fat measurements were 6.5-8.1%. I was 11.7% today. Quite the increase.

Lunch- 8 miles with the guys. It was very cold- mid 30's and windy. First time I've worn long sleeve shirt since last spring. Brr. Seriously, it was below 40- soo cold! I thought I was going to die or worse. Or at least be a human popsicle. My snot rockets were frozen solid before they hit the ground. I felt my skin freezing with 5 seconds, my eyelids kept freezing shut when I blinked, and I could feel frostbite forming on my toes. My fingers were cold for at least 3 hours after, and that includes during the 15 minute hot shower. Although, my knee didn't hurt during the run, so either the cold helped or it was numb. I'll take it either way.

AM- it really was pretty cold for my run today. Mid 20's and windy with windchill of 14 F. Dressed up a bit. Ran 6 uneventful miles. I like running around the soccer field watching the older kids play their games. I played for 11 years so it brings back some memories.
