Hello! Happy Monday!
How was your weekend?
Saturday was pretty frigid over here.
I still ran though.
Cuz, I’m crazy.
The wind was BRUTAL! It literally took my breath away a few times. I definitely need to get a balaclava and some new warmer socks and some new gloves.
I definitely should have doubled up on gloves.
Turns out I was a little close to hypothermia. Had a little trouble touching my left pinky to my left thumb. Did you know about that test? Here are some other ways to identify and treat hypothermia. And I was super duper cold.
So, I showered (not in a super hot shower – didn’t want to burn my cold skin) and put on some warm comfy clothes. Got my coffee ready and I was still shivering so my sailor bundled me up in his gloves and down jacket. Molly hopped on my lap to provide warmth to my legs.
I actually sat like that for probably an hour before I started to feel warm.
I think I discovered my cold weather limit when it comes to running. 🙂
Yesterday was much warmer (thank goodness!) and we went to an RV show.
We have a vintage little camper (a 1971 Shasta!) but we’re looking for something that is more suitable for long distances and also has a bathroom.
Neither of us mind using the bathhouses at the campgrounds but….sometimes it’s nice to have your own place to “go” if the weather isn’t cooperating at that moment. Trust me, it’s a whole lot of NOT FUN to battle with an umbrella, puddles, rain, thunder and lightning for a potty emergency.
Campers have come a long way! We saw a few that we really liked and some that we really didn’t. And, we saw some that were utterly ridiculous.
A luxurious hotel on 4 wheels is NOT camping in our books.  But hey, if that’s what you like and you can afford the 6 figure price tag, then you go. 🙂
So, Â did you sign up to do the Core Power Challenge with Ericka?
You know I did!
Today was day #1! Whoop!
planking .. like a BOSS!
I kicked my Monday off with a short run and then got down to challenge bidness. 🙂
You can still sign up – don’t let the fact that it’s already started prevent you. Get on it! You can do it! 🙂
Talk to me: Did you do anything fun this weekend?
