Blame it on the rain…

Posted by Kristin Linscott under: Kristin Linscott .

I’ve got that stupid Milli Vanilli song stuck in my head.

I can’t hold back…I HATE THIS WEATHER!  It’s totally throwing off my training karma.  I ran on the treadmill last night…4 miles…and then busted out the Elliptical for another hour.  All I could think of was how badly I wanted to be outside.  I was SO bored.  And to make matters worse, it looks like it’s going to be crappy on Saturday for our long run.  Ugh!

It’s so easy to just lay on the couch when the weather is like this.  I got home from work yesterday and took a nap…it was horrible dragging my butt off the couch to get to the gym.  But I knew that if I didn’t go, I would be really mad at myself today.  I found the motivation somewhere…maybe because all of this running and working out has begun to alleviate the ‘muffin top’ around my waist that I’ve been sporting for a few years…who knows.  Either way, I feel much better today!

Today has been a crazy weather day!!! My poor kids don’t know whether to go out or stay in! Great job on your workout yesterday, Kristin, even if it was boring–you did it! 4 more weeks!

I hate the treadmill. Before RW, it was how I trained in inclement weather. But with RW and RG, they don’t give a hoot whether we’re cold, or frostbitten, or soaked. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? I’m not sure I could go back to running inside.
