I'm a weather wimp

Recap from last week:
Last Friday - FREEZING COLD I ran on the strand after the soccer game
Last Sunday - FREEZING COLD I ran in my neighborhood with frozen legs
I actually cursed myself out loud for choosing a sport which would be training during the winter. Still, I applauded myself for getting out there 2x in the freezing cold!
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - FREEZING COLD I swam in the unheated pool
Wednesday - JUST COLD I ran on the strand before going to sushi with my mom, sis and bro-in-law
Thursday - EARLY and just chilly I swam in a more agreeably heated pool but that night, out of nowhere - RAIN! Dun dun DUNNNNNN!
Friday - EARLY and damp but chilly I ran in the neighborhood
TODAY - SATURDAY - I had the babysitter all lined up, I was rarin' to go, but I woke up at 5:46am and heard torrential downpours outside. I checked the doppler 7000 online and it looked like it was going to keep coming. I canceled on my poor, very patient babysitter and went back to bed. It's true, I could have gone to run, but having run 4x in the last week, I was kinda over that so if we weren't going to push me over my personal comfort level and onto a bike, I decided to sleep in this morning.

I got a heck of a lot done today working on my fundraisers - addressing the personalized letters that Santa wrote and sent to me to mail. But part of me was really disappointed that I didn't get that 5th day in a row of working out. Also, to not do anything after 4 days of doing something, and to be cooped up indoors all day was driving me bonkers!

Tomorrow I will see if it's dry enough to at least get on the bike. If not, I'll put the kids on their bikes and run behind them. No, I'm not sacrificing my kids for the sake of the sport, they have wider tires and training wheels in Lauren's case. They're more used to riding too whereas I have about 27 years since the last time I was on a bike.

I give big kudos to my fellow iron teammates who did go out and run this morning! You all are rock stars!! I've tried to adopt the new mantra "WWIGD?" (What would Iron Girl Do?) to help me get over my weather wimpiness. I'll get there come hell or high water!
