Day 9: 7 Miler in the Cold

So, no, the mid-50s isn't really "cold" per say.  But, compared to the 78 degree sweat-fest I ran yesterday, today was a bit chillier.  I realized at my 3.5 mile halfway point that I would be running the last half of my route INTO the 15 mph north wind.  Luckily, I did enjoy full sun for the majority of the run.  On the second leg of my run, an older woman passed me headed in the other direction.  First thought--FANTASTICALLY toned quads!  As a 26 year old that HAS never and WILL never have fantastically toned quads, I made the rather convenient connection: trying to chip away at the jiggle gifted to me by my genetic code is like running into a 15 mph north wind--a whole lotta work for very little and very painful progress.
