A Ninja Recovery Run

It's cold here.  Sunday when I was getting ready for my recovery run, I realized I needed to bundle up.  Since the long sleeves I had wore for the long run the day before were still wet (eew.) I had to find something else to wear.  Look what I found!  An under armour long sleeve that I nabbed at TJ Maxx for $16 (back when it was still 95 degrees here).  Score.  I put on my black capri tights and was throwing my hair up in a pony when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  Whoa!  Where'd the ninja come from?!?!  Of course, that prompted me to take some ninja-inspired photos.  I'm such a loser.  :)  Thank God I had pink shoes on to counteract the ninja-ness.  

Disclaimer:  After I realized how ridiculous I looked, I threw on an old school (we're talking summer before senior year of high school 2001) tye dyed green shirt over the top.  Fashion crisis averted!

Disclaimer #2:  I'm really not this skinny.  It is definitely the all black that everyone claims is so "slimming."  Because, eew, I look groooooss.

Ok, seriously, the face in picture #2 is amazing.  :)  Anyway, the run.  I did 3 easy miles in brrrr cold weather.  I did the 3 miles in 27:57 for a pace of 9:19.

Alright, I'm going to go fight some bad guys, or whatever it is that ninjas do.

  6. I'm not sure what to believe here Jeri - the ninja poses or the "I'm really not this skinny" line...

    I need to keep my eyes out for those sales too. Right now I have to rifle through my sons (both of them) dressers to find some warm clothing. Thank goodness I can wear their clothes. Now all I need to do is grow about 3 inches so I can see the tops of their heads....

  7. Fun! Great ninja poses! Bad guys on the streets of South Dakota look out!

    I am curious of how you deal with the cold back there. As I mentioned there was temp. threshold living in Kansas I would not even try to endure. I would typically say no to running in anything below 27 degrees. I did go out once when it was 10 degrees once - learned real quick how dumb that was!

    Impressive split times.
