Cold!

Published on November 18, 2008 in Chicago, Life and Weather. 2 Comments Tags: , , .

All of the sudden it got cold. Yesterday, Dan sent me an instant message inquiring into Chicago’s weather. That’s when it hit me…it is friggen’ winter again.

Yesterday, I literally wanted to run between buildings to get to my classes. It was one of those days. Where the cold just hits you – a smack in the face. I like winter, but I’m just not ready for it yet. The transition between fall and winter is the hardest of any seasonal change.

The saddest part of the change for me is the inability to be outside, I’ve been running a lot and biking a decent amount this summer. At first, I thought I’d be able to keep it up before it snows, but now I’m skeptical. Its just too cold to be outside to run. More accurately, I’m just to wimpy to go do it.

I feel like using this chilly weather to set a few goals for the winter:

1) Figure out what the hell I’m doing next year.
2) Be a more responsible scheduler.

    Cold = Snow = Skiing!

    kr3z and I will be spending much time in Duluth this winter, and I’m pretty excited for that. What gloves would you recommend for the slopes?

    You’re right in that fall to winter is always the toughest, but fortunately it always happens so fast that you don’t have time to object.

    Indoor sports will also be had this year. Maybe REI will be frequented for their free climbing wall!

    True, I’m making sure to hit the slopes as frequently as possible this winter. Duluth is my favorite place to ski in Minnesota, that being said, I’m jealous of kr3z and yourself.

    Also, last time I was in MPLS I went climbing – sooo much fun.

    For gloves, it all depends on how much you want to spend. Look for gloves that:

    1) Fit well
    2) Warmth
    3) Water-proofing (maybe most important)

    I’m a fan of Level gloves, so finding those on sale would be great. Otherwise, I think Dakine is a fairly safe/affordable choice as long as they’re waterproof.
