Good morning hoddlers. I’m glad I checked in today because this hoddle was almost set to 2.30pm ET. Could you imagine that?
It’s too darn cold to even think about the differences between the ante- and post-meridian these days. And can you really tell the difference? It’s freaking cold!
Your hoddler-in-chief, though, began his marathon training in earnest this week with a 14-mile run in the freezing cold. It was not fun.
I do take some comfort in the fact that the actual distance did not push me that much. But the wind whipping against my face for the duration of the run was not enjoyable. And that forced me to go much slower than I normally would, but that could be a blessing.
I still think I’m crazy for training during the winter. Even crazier for doing some of these runs after 5pm when it’s dark and cold, the cars are less cautious of runners, and the sidewalks are generally emptier. They’re much lonelier runs.
But I don’t care. I still have 15 weeks to go. And I intend on smashing my next marathon. The cold-weather running will only make me stronger.
