Day 3,550 —Four More Runs until the Shippey 100—

I was looking at the weather today; now it’s supposed to be in the single digits on Saturday, so there’s that to think about. Also, it looks like it’s probably going to snow on Friday. So there will be a few inches of snow. I bought some more warm stuff yesterday. I’m trying to remind myself that I have all those disposable warmers I plan to use, and I can always use more of those if four is not enough. My number one concern is getting hot and then getting wet from sweat or from the snow or the rain or the mud or whatever moisturizer is in the area. I can start it strong to get warm but before I know it, I am sweating and making myself miserable. I really need to be smart and go slow. That is probably the most uncomfortable thing I’m thinking about right now. I’m just trying to remember to stretch. 

I took an Epsom salt bath last night. I want to try to take a bath as many times as possible this week, as well as do a lot of stretching. I feel like I have not been getting a ton of sleep, so if I can get enough sleep tonight, that would be hugely helpful. I think I’m going to. I don’t have my list ready for different things, but I think I’m going to just start writing stuff if not today or tomorrow. I also have class this week, so this is the first week of school, which is fine. I guess it’s really hoping it's going to be next week because, when I looked at it, I looked at the academic calendar. It showed that the semester doesn’t start until next week, but it doesn’t do a good job of saying when the first date when the first classes start, so there’s that. 

It felt freezing this morning, but when I looked at the temperature, it wasn't that cold. So this kind of run makes me even more concerned because I’m just trying to remember last year when the temperature dropped from the 20s to the teens and how much it didn’t make a huge difference. Sure, it was colder, but it’s always the windchill that really matters more than whatever the actual temperature is. I could prepare for the actual temperature. It’s just the variables that make me nervous.
