Winter cold finally came to our little country as well and I only say finally because the sooner we get some of the winter the sooner I can look forward to the first flowers of spring! Yes, I'm one of those who prefer not to wear billion of layers of clothes, staying rather with simple shorts and a T-shirt. Living back home has one great advantage over having a life - I can stay at home all day and night whenever it gets too cold outside! How I hated winters for those freezing mornings when I had to go to school/work and take the bus to get there. These buses were always either overheated and you had to start stripping yourself from your bear-winter-fur of clothes or it's just as freezing as it is outside, possibly with free wooden seats which offer everything but comfort of warmth! If you're lucky it's above 0°C and your body parts aren't freezing, but then it is or it was snowing recently and there's all that shitty slush all around! Anyway, there's plenty of reasons not to like winter in a city, more so if you're dependant on public transport.
On the other hand this season taught me that hiding inside when it gets below 5°C just because you can isn't the best choice either. That way I got an awful virus at the end of last year, spending an hour outside completely unused to the temperature and then going out with friends in the evening of the same day. It cost me 3 weeks heavy duty cold! After long process of healing I started hanging out with my dog almost every day again. She's madly excited about it and it feels equally great to me to do some workout outside for a change.
The other day we went for a RUN because it was so sunny and bright I instantly felt like RUNNING. The dog didn't complain obviously. So I dressed up for a winter run - hat, gloves and a light runing jacket - and warmed up inside. We had a pretty good time, coming back home the dog even grabbed one of her toys and we played for a while on the front yard, all together it was nearly an hour. And ... drum roll ... it was -5°C outside! And I loved it! At the end it didn't even feel like my nose is going to fall off anymore!
That was couple days ago, we just came in from a walk now (it was cloudy and grey, I didn't feel quite enough energized for a run ;), again it's -5 outside. The result: NO cold!! I feel great! It's not like my nose didn't nearly fell off again and my butt wouldn't get a cellulite-freeze but - I almost feel like a sports woman in a great shape. WHOOPEE!! ('Almost' only stands there due to my general lazy style of life.)
None of that would be possible without my best doggy friend!! I wish you all had one of her kind, it's always great to have someone equally childish and crazy to hang out, it's so relaxing, almost like watching a video of Linux the Greatest.
Treat yourself a little something today, you must have done something good to deserve a reward;) I'm treating myself with a hot bubble bath!
Take care and always keep a warm smile ready to pop out.
