Mountain Training - Day 44 - Staying Warm

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 17 days since my last post.

A month or so ago I was given a lot more responsibility at work and it’s been taking up a lot of my time and energy. The past week and a half it’s been all I can do to drag myself to the gym. I have to park 3 blocks away if I don’t go late at night and it’s been bloody cold. I hate walking with sweaty clothes in sub zero temps back to the garage. It’s been hard to stay motivated with all the extra work at my job and the temps, but I’m still getting through it.

When I go to the gym, it usually ends up taking about 1 hour 45 minutes which sucks up a lot of my free time so I’ve been more eager to run outside where I can get a good work out in about 30 minutes. But with the cold weather, it’s meant I’ve had to figure out how to stay warm.

Below is the stuff I wear when I’m running in freezing temperatures.
