Finally, A warm day
After a Very Cold weekend with temperatures never above zero, and that's not considering the wind chill, it finally warmed up today and I ventured out for a ski. Gregg & I waited until the warmest part of the day to ski & by then it was a balmy 6°F.
I'm continually impressed with the body's ability to adapt. As recently as five days ago I would have considered 6°F frigidly cold but today I found it perfectly manageable. Right now if you had me train in 100° heat, I would probably pass out, but by the time summer rolls around and that's the conditions, I'll be able to handle it fine. Not to mention the body's ability to adapt to training. The body learns quickly how to do what it's required to do. It's amazing. I'm amazed. It makes me wonder how trainable and adaptable my body is and how fast I can coax it to be.

I find the cold very refreshing as long as there is no wind and the sun is bright warming my face. Your body has an incredible ability to adapt to anything as long as it strives for homeostasis. Your workouts are are great stress for your body as long as you balance it with enough recovery. Darwin said the one who adapts the best will survive the longest. Steve E
