Why is it I always think it's colder than it really is...maybe because the house is so well insulated and shaded by the trees that it's fairly cool in the house. For example, this morning...being july 9th...we had to have the fireplace on for about 30 minutes just to give a bit of warmth to the livingroom...are you kidding? In mid July? Where is summer. So here's the where the problem started.... now I think it's cool outside too!
So here I am in capris running tights, short sleeve tee-shirt, and a light jacket....the wind is blowing lightly so I think..."I'll be slightly cool so I'll dress up"....well with in 10 minutes I was too hot and the jacket came off and tied around my waist.
I could have been very comfortable in shorts and just the tee-shirt....but at least I could remove layers. I saw a girl power walking and she had on a long sleeve shirt and long pants...she agreed it was alot warmer than we thought!
I'm forever over dressing...but on the flip side...I hate being cold. In fact, I detest being cold! My will to keep moving evaporates and I pretty much settle into a grumpy funk and hate my run/walk.
So...even though I had over dressed today, I was smart and dressed in layers that could come off or go back on, and I was happy and I made excellant time on my 11.5 km powerwalk.
As for my Iron Turtle...to date I've biked 75 kms, swam 2 km, and now have finished the 42.2 km marathon part....of course, I'm just starting my actual marathon training and look forward to many, many, many more km's to go!
