"butt cold"

I got to "sleep in" this morning until 7 am. When I wake up and the hour number on the clock is anything past 5, I am pretty happy. So I sit here typing and enjoying my coffee as the house slowly begins to wake for the day.

Nathan informed me that the forecast for this weekend was "butt cold" according to the local meteorologist. This is not good for Tina's long run. Luckily, this weekend's long run is shorter at 6-10 miles planned. I'm shooting for 8.6. Last weekend, we dropped a considerable amount of cash at Dick's Sporting Goods to get Nathan and I better outfitted for cold weather training. He already has a lot of gear. I ended up getting some Under Armour leggings, a warm top, and some gloves. I almost returned them during the week, because they were really expensive (about $50 each) and I didn't see the need. But stepping out this morning, I think I will be keeping them.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with the women's selection at Dick's. I would normally get gear from title9 or roadrunnersports.com, but I didn't want to wait. I checked out the selection at REI last night, but it was not much better. Stay warm!
