- It's freakin' cold here peeps. I woke this morning to -10 degrees and about -27 degree windchill. I didn't want to get out of bed. Period. Do you blame me? It's like living in the arctic .... snowbanks alongside the road that are1-2 feet above my car, can't see on-coming traffic when sitting at a 4 way stop, 15-20 foot snow piles in parking lots, white covered icy roads, the exhaust from vehicles working on overtime obstructs your view... and it's not going to be any nicer tomorrow... -23 below (without windchill) when I wake tomorrow. blech. But, Sunday it's supposed to be in the 20's (above zero) and that's well above a 50 degree increase, so it will feel like a heat wave!
- Yesterday I did BodyPump and it had been 5 weeks since my last session, and it was definitely apparent today. My triceps, glutes, and quads were sore. But, in a sick-twisted-I-know-I-got-a-good-workout-because-of-sore-muscles-kind-of-way, it feels good. Real good. Today I got in a nice and slow 3 miler on the treadmill (obviously) with lots of walking. I just wanted to loosen up those muscles a bit. Hopefully I can get to the pool in the morning (based on how I feel in regards to #1).

Umm, you live in ND, what to you expect? I remember walking home the 5 blocks from school in the winter in Grand Forks one time when I was 7 ('cause the bus didn't show up) and nearly suffering frost bite.
That's why I live in the south now. ;o)
I feel your pain!!! I froze me arse off today.
I froze my butt off today, but we did not have anything like the weather you had! I am just a baby in the cold :-)
That is COLD. I would have stayed in bed.
Hang in there. I hate cold (thus, I live here :-)
I am up in Grand Rapids all the time. I went out to my car early one morning last winter to make a client meeting and the car thermometer said -40. ND knows cold like nobody else...
and here we are in london complaining about our four inches of snow ahahaha.
I don't know how you can take that brutal cold weather. You guys are tough.
Your weather report makes my 20-something degrees feel downright tropical!
Thank you for commenting on my blog and offering your insight. I really appreciate it :)
I want that "sick twisted" feeling from sore muscles too, but you can keep the -27 degree air. I like the Three Things Thursday concept, by the way.
seriously the midwest winter is just intense this year!! I had a space heater going so it was all toasty when I woke up...which got me out of bed but then it was like well it's soooo cold out...what now.
Oh my gosh I can't believe how cold it is where you live. I don't know how you handle it! Bundle up and enjoy your "heat wave"
It's the winter that won't end!
Better you than me :-) I could NOT live there!! BRRRRRRRRRR!!!
It's kind of sad when you get excited for 20 degree days! :)
Okay. I am a total hag for griping about sunshine & 70*. I seriously hope you've got a mega-Snuggie!
I wish my gym had Body Pump, it looks fun!
When my mom told me that it was going to be crazy cold in ND I totally thought of you! I don't know how you do it because I'm freezing here in the 30's!
