Greetings!
It’s December 21, 2017. Some celebrate this as the first day of winter. Others
bemoan it as being the day with the fewest hours of daylight. I like to think
of the 21st as the day that begins the brief March to Spring. I
first started running in 1996 to lose weight. The effort succeeded. One
lingering side effect has been I find myself cold all the time. I wear long
sleeve shirts all year around and generally only wear shorts to exercise. It’s
that bad.
Raised
in the American South, I never had much exposure to real cold anyway. Following
the weight loss my distaste for the cold increased. In the last year, I’ve
found ways to embrace the cold. The correct mindset is as important as the
right clothes. Shannan taught me the art of layers. All that said, I’m ready
for the coming winter and plan not to complain or lament a single time about
being cold, no matter what.
Enjoy
the Seasons. Run.
Tom
