It could be colder
Everyone here is complaining about the "Arctic blast" we are having. I do agree that it is weird that this winter has been one of extremes, both high and low. But as long as you dress for it--I wore my Boston winter coat today--you're fine. When it's 100 degrees outside, it's still uncomfortable when you have shorts and a tank top on. But most people don't agree with that argument, so I just nod when I hear people whining about how freezing it is outside. I guess I also know that we don't have it so bad--Matt's sister said it was 4 today in Cornell-land.
I worked out inside today so the weather was not a factor. I rode the spin bike in my new grey padded butt shorts that I found on sale at Fleet Feet this weekend. They are a little big, but they were on sale and I'm sure they will shrink in the dryer eventually. My hamstring was still a bit tight and I tried to bike with proper form so that I wasn't putting any extra stress on it. It felt much better during the day today than it did yesterday.
I had an interesting experience at work today. I attended the annual mass held in honor of the anatomical donors whose cadavers are used in the first-year medical school anatomy labs. Friends and family members (and med students) filled the auditorium and it was a very moving service. It was a mostly Catholic service though, and it was only my second full mass, so I was a little confused about what to do during it--but I did my best to follow along.
I lifted after work today as usual and it was uneventful save for the fact that it was burning hot in there. (Another thing about hyped-up cold days: overheating.) Now I am trying to stay warm while I wait for our apartment to warm up. It is freezing in here!
