California Cold Spurt

It was cold today. Okay, it was California cold, but that's still cold to me. Today was the first run that I was actually cold on all the way through. I had on capris and a t-shirt with a lightweight zip-up jacket. This setup has been completely fine for me the last weeks, but I definitely felt the chill today. Although I do believe this was my first run in the mid 40s.

I think it's time to invest in some gloves and a headband to keep my ears covered. I'm a pretty big fan of Target's Champion brand of exercise gear. It holds up to my general routine, and is decent quality at a very affordable price point. They have a few different headband options, so I may take a trip tomorrow.

The forecast for the next week is chilly, and I'm not exactly stoked about that. But it's easy to convince myself to run while it's in the high 30s and low 40s here because I have some amazing women in my life who are running in actually freezing temperatures. If they can run in the snow, then I can certainly run in whatever California is throwing at me (read: not snow).

Today was a three mile run and a round of NROL. I am very much so over lunges and stepups. I really, really want to move on to stage 2 of NROL. Only four more stage 1 sessions left. I am also consistently running a 10 minute mile now, which is encouraging. I am definitely in a stride. It's pretty amazing what consistency does for the body.
