Don't get too excited by the title of this post. There is nothing remotely sexy about my run. In fact, I rarely wear as many layers as I did today when I was out there. BUT, I did strip myself of both my watch and my iPod (I was still the "on duty" Dr. nln until noon, so I did have my pager in one pocket and my cell phone in the other) and I just ran for the sheer pleasure of running. I highly recommend trying this...well, I highly recommend it if you are the kind of person who can turn off your brain and get out of your head and just enjoy a great run. If you a million thoughts going through your brain then I suggest putting your iPhone on the airplane setting so that no one can disturb your run, put on a pod cast and GO!!
It was a brisk (and by brisk I mean f@cking cold) morning. The weather channel app says it was 30 degrees but with the 19mph winds it felt like 18 degrees. I wore layers. Multiple layers. My core was warm but my fingers, despite the under armour cold gear gloves were FREEZING!
I only ran 4.25 miles because that's all I had time for between making rounds in the morning and the Illini game at 1:00. And NOW it's time for nap #2!!!
