Dear Diary,
It’s only -7 but feels like -14 outside today.
My hands froze this morning as I put both girls in their car seats and then proceeded to scrape off the frost on the windshield.
As I walked to a meeting in a building two minutes away, the wind is whipped through my dress pants and I was freezing.
I, for some reason brought all my running gear to … yes, go for a run. I’ve done it before. Meh…cold weather…I can run in that.
Well, today I quit before I even started. 😦
That’s right! I decided on my 2 minute walk back to my office that it was TOO bloody cold outside and that I wanted to stay inside during my lunch hour and do nothing! Well, maybe sleep…but that really wasn’t an option.
Take that winter. {stomps foot down}
I’m a sissy.
Okay, no I’m not a sissy…I just don’t want to bundle up my entire body and run outside.
Thank goodness, I got a treadmill at home.
Dear Treadmill,
Warning – date night tonight at 8pm. Be there or….oh wait…you can’t go anywhere.
Signing off,
Runner’s problems in Nova Scotia on a winter day.
Piper's Run 
This weather is ridiculous, no shame in making a date with the treadmill!
It was pretty friggin’ cold out…I don’t mind the -7 but the windchill was killing me just on a 2 minute walk!
This girl from Texas can’t even calculate temperatures that cold. I don’t know how you go outside at all. Yay treadmill!
ha ha. I guess we all just acclimatize ourselves to where we live! If the windchill wasn’t so bad, I know I would have been fine.
I so feel your pain right now! It’s finally above zero and I can’t wait to get outside. This is a new kind of crazy. BTW, did you know that Nova Scotia is like a magic place to me? Blame Anne of Green Gables for making Canada this sort of imaginary paradise to me… 😉
Awww…but Canada is Paradise 😉 ha ha.
Oh Anne…Anne of Green Gables …. everyone loves her…and Gilbert 😉
I agree… take it out on the treadmill!
You are NOT a sissy. That kind of cold isn’t even safe, I swear. Enjoy date night with the tread 🙂
The date was perfect!
Spring is going to be here before you know it! hold onto some hope for warmer days to come. That is really cold – I would have treadmilled it for sure.
I dunno….winter doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere fast – at least in the Maritimes.
There has to be a physical danger line in place for any work out activity beyond which you just become silly for taking the risk. You’re definitely on the right side of the line here.
I was happy with my decision…took me a few hours to make it but once I did, I felt better.
Yeah, with a treadmill at home… I’d be going for that as well! Unfortunately for me it was yet another video today instead of a run. But at least I got that in I guess.
At least you didn’t sit on the couch all day….I need to get some video work outs in soon…it’s been a while!
Um. No judging here about quitting your run. “Only -7” hahaha I AM the sissy.
I’m always jealous of the warm weather photo’s I see on your blog 😉
🙂

I am just thankful that we even have treadmills to fall back on especially with this never ending cold winter this year.
