pshaw_ravenHoly cow, it's going to be 36 tonight.
It'll be a great morning to go run :D
Actually, my long run is on Sunday. I'm getting into a pattern of running three and four days in a row, with increasing miles each day, so as to get accustomed to the Dopey Challenge's increasing distances. Tomorrow is a six-miler, and Sunday is sixteen.
It's not always that cold at Disney in January, though it can be. The first year I did it, there was actually frost on the ground. I was huddled up with some strangers in the starting corral, all bunched up like baby penguins in a creche. And in the Epcot parking lot, there's nothing to break up the wind gusts.
So while I could replicate the conditions out there by getting up and starting my run at around 5:30 am, it's still very dark here at that time, and there's one major complication about running in the dark here that Disney doesn't have. Bears. I would really prefer not to surprise a bear in the dark. At WDW this is not likely to happen, though they do have bears. And just to explain this very simply, I even have a handy illustration.
We didn't do much for Thanksgiving here, but Fox and I tend to keep the holidays pretty low-key. I'm sort of itching to get out and do something today, but I think I'm going to wait until Monday or Tuesday. I'd like to go to Chamblin Book Mine. I mean, maybe tomorrow, especially if I have some things I could pick up at the Asian grocer.
And my vintage-pen-friendly ink should be here today. Time to print off some practice sheets.
