One year ago, I endured a bitterly cold winter in Atlanta and ran a PB in the WDW marathon under sub-zero conditions. This year was much better, or so I thought. The first few days in Denver - the mile high city - was sunny, clear blue sky with temp hovering only about minus 5C.
And then the storm warnings came and my flights to Florida were cancelled. I rebooked, got cancelled again and rebooked. This morning, Denver woke up to one of the snowiest winters in many years. About 2 inches of snow. It snowed the whole day.
The hotel pool is heated and one can see the snow falling and swirling outside the pool window. The closest thing we can get to a hot spring in Japan. But with just a quarter (or less) size, it would take only two strokes to reach the other end. Not appealing in the least.
So it was back to the treadmill for the past four days. Twice were early in the morning due to jet lag. Couldn't complain about the new gym equipment, after all the Embassy Suites at Stout St opened less than a month ago. Easy jogs to get back into the swing of things after a long layoff.
Btw, today's the WDW marathon 2011. One year ago, I scrunched at the thought of the Goofy challenge. Interestingly how a year changed that perspective. 21k followed by a 42k seemed doable. Just have to take it easy.
