Highlight of the run: heated bathroom.

10 miles - It was bound to happen... I had a slow run on Saturday. Coulda been the 3 layers of pants and tops I had on. Coulda been the 6 degrees we ran in. Coulda been the food I ate the night before (pitstop at the Latin King while friends were in town). But it was not the wine, because I gave that up all weekend and I had guests all weekend! Lesson learned from last weekend. So there were only four of us, counting coach, Sat morning and it was darn cold. But with the "half full" new years resolution that I've committed to, I'd like to point out that there was no wind. Yay! A rare pleasure in the great midwest. So we had THAT going for us. It was a kinda crazy morning as we had a pitstop to find a stray cat which one of my teammates got to the parks and rec people to take to the humane society. I also had to make a pitstop at the restroom (their heated. Way nice. didn't want to leave.) because my intestines were not happy with me. Which is pretty much what the rest of my day entailed as well. yikes. not a good situation. Let me just say I'm diligently trying to identify the culprit for the future. Despite the fact that hardly any team members showed up, the lake was pretty busy, I'm guessing it's cause we actually saw the sun early in the AM. What a treat, despite the cold temps. people were coming out to enjoy it. So, though we didn't do the 12 miles on the schedule so as not to freeze, we did 10 miles today and I made it through despite my stomach issues. woohoo. Just needed to get a bad run out of the way apparently, now back to the good stuff. FYI: I'm headed to NYC for work at the end of this week over the weekend so I'll be doing my long run alone when I get back early in the week.
