Happy Wednesday!

I guess it pays off to complain about my head being cold on my runs.  My amazing wife surprised me with an early christmas present…

The Mizuno Thermo hat is amazingly warm.  I went out last night and the temperature was -3C.  I dressed the same as I have the last few weeks but I was cooking in this new hat.  I had to ditch the hat part way through the run.  I think in the future I’ll try to offset the warmth of my head with fewer layers on my body.  This will be better because I’ll be able to move better and not feel as bulky once I get warmed up.  I’m getting used to being cold when I set out for a run and then quickly warming up as my body gets warmed up.  I am really enjoying being out running in the winter.  It gets me out of the house when normally I’d be stuck inside during these cold winter nights.

There’s been a lot of Coyote sighting in Kincardine recently.  Its been in the papers every week and everyone is talking about a local dog that will killed by a Coyote right in town.  Its been on my mind a little when I’m out running at night.  Mainly because I really want to see one and get a picture of one around town.  I don’t really feel threatened or scared when I’m out alone.  From what I’ve read, they are not known for attacking adults and I personally think I could scare one away if I ran into one on my travels.  I guess if anything good will come out of the Coyotes being around, it will make me run faster!

I’m into week two of my training program and I’m felling pretty good.  The last few days I thought I was getting sick but I think I was just tired from a busy weekend in Niagara Falls.  I have officially signed up for the Marco Island Half and booked a house for a week away in Florida after the run.  Now I just need to finalize flights!  It’s all coming together!

Keep on moving,
