Its been an unusual couple of weeks. Last week, tornados hit Union University in Tennessee. Since the professors of all three of my classes had children at Union, they've been focused elsewhere (understandably). Just for your information, their daughters were not injured. After that, Kentucky had a snow storm come through on Tuesday of this week. My morning classes were canceled due to road conditions, and my professor for my afternoon class was stuck out of state. I used the day to catch up on some reading and projects. This has made it a somewhat painless week as far as classes are concerned.
Ok, so yesterday was Valentine's Day. Emily & I had agreed not to really do much, but she wanted to make me a nice dinner. She asked me to take my time getting back from Louisville so she could cook dinner. (I normally make it back before she can get home from school). I decide to go for a run since the guy I carpool with didn't go today. I parked at one of the parks I like to run at when I'm in Louisville with the intentions of doing a lap that's between 6-7 miles. There was still snow and ice on the ground from Tuesday's cold front, but the temp. had climbed into the 40s. I decided to add an extra loop, then another, then a third. All told, I ended up going between 11-12 miles instead of 6-7. I expected to be unable to move this morning. For the past couple of weeks, I've ridden an exercise bike more than I've run. Growing up in the land of the 2 days of winter (southern Mississippi), I don't handle running in the cold very well. The bike is my way of hiding from subfreezing temperatures. I'm releaved to find that I'm not as sore as I probably should be. Alternating between the exercise bike and running may not be such a bad plan after all.
