Brrrrrr...f'ing...brrrrr! Yes, it was cold today. It must have been 50 degrees and windy when we got out for our run today. I know, you Northeasterners are ready to throttle me, but too bad. Move to Florida and you can complain and be a big wus like me when it gets down to 50!!Honey initialy came outside with short sleaves on, but she quickly went inside and came back with a snow suit on (just a bit of an exaggeration). She really hates the cold. More than me, even. She is from Brazil, as she likes to remind me every once in a while (as if I don't know!) It is hot there most of the time. Of course, in winter, which happens when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it gets to be about 50 at its lowest. Very similar to Florida. The thing I like to remind her is that they have no heat in the winter, so she should be used to it.
I always lose that argument (like most arguments, actually). ; o (
So we started running and a few minutes in, Honey was heading for the house again. "NOT SO FAST!!" I said in my stern voice! That got a laugh.
I get no respect <tugs at his shirt collar a couple of times>
Finally, I pleaded to her sense of commitment and health.
That got the evil wife stare.
Finally, I said, "Fine, just go home, I'm better off running alone."
Apparently, my potential for happiness was enough to convince her to keep running.
So, we were able to finish our run while freezing our butts off, but we did it. I like to think of it as a reaffirmation of our commitment to fitness, health, and to our love of running. Honey would like to think of it as a reaffirmation that I am chato, irritando, and saco!
Those are Portugeuse words...you'll have to look them up. I don't know exactly what they mean, but I'm sure it is something like charming, intelligent and sexy!
