So I train at least once a night at a specific playground, and I have the whole thing set up in my head as a seamless workout
Think Stage 3, but with a time limit
Anyways, tonight was the first night it got really cold here, about 40 degrees
Man I forgot how it makes it really tough to grab on the bars and such, plus the wind and general cold didn't help either
It turned into me worrying more about my grip then actually strength
But my main point here is, I actually love it when it's like this
I don't know, it's a lot tougher, and I feel a lot more satisfied when I finish
I guess it's like beating a game on Hard instead of Medium
Anyone else happy it's winter?

No, the tempature in my house is out! (Thank whoever for space heaters!)
But I tried something last winter that was fun, wait for it to snow and have the slides get icy and go down one and jump off to practice for the flying chute, it is high speed split second timing on the jump, although having a rope to grab would be better than landing in snow though.

Lucky guy. I probably won't get snow until the day after Christmas.
Just always remember: Don't eat the yellow snow.

The Carolina's always have this type of weather in October (I'm in North Carolina). But we never get snow. Then it turns to 80 fricken degrees around Thanksgiving. Who says there's no Global Warming? Just always remember: Don't eat the yellow snow. Its not that bad to be near once you've been near the brown steamy snow That particular brand of snow is rather tasty when paired with Thunderbird Wine. |

Colorado has been really cold excluding this week.
When it comes to training, I'm not into the cold weather. It sucks having to wear gloves that lose their grip once it touches snow. Also, you're cold for a whole day when you wake up and your blankets fall on the floor during the night.
The only thing I love about the cold is running. You never get hot or sweat so running is much easier.

Thunderbird Wine makes you so drunk you'd be lucky to actually realize what you were eating. Enough of that stuff in your system would make you able to put down just about anything.

In your average Chi-town winter it get down to about 30 in September. Tough it out, that's what I do.

Not in this world I don't! Anime world, Then we're talkin'!
But I haven't tried going to playground in cold, although I am going to be some cold weather running tommorow, although I've usually found long distance (Mile and a half, ask Badalight or Yojimbo for details) is hard on the lungs.
