Making Adjustments
The last time I ran outside on the roads was on Thanksgiving, 3 weeks ago. The road conditions have been either too nasty or the weather has been too cold or inclement. Oh yeh, and my chest cold kept reminding me that it might not be such a swift idea breathing that cool air into my chest and lungs til this thing has passed. So to compensate to keep my fitness levels somewhat in tact, I have been going to the gym and using the eliptical or dreadmill (treadmill). In fact I have been pretty good at putting in the time, 13 times, in fact, since Thanksgiving for over 40 miles. I'm prepared to do this until my chest cold is completely gone and the temperatures get above 40.
