Warm & Toasty

Start: Home
End:  Home
Total Miles:  zero

Skyline Dr. was closed again today. That meant our only option was Plan B, which would give us about 2mi towards our total. According to weather.com, the low temp in SNP this morning was 15deg, with a windchill colder than that! Kenny didn't really want Jen to go, and since I was all warm and toasty under the covers, I was easily dissuaded from any cold weather hiking. We decided to bag it and try again next weekend.
Rosie was happy, since that meant she had me all to herself today. We slept in a bit, then headed down to Manassas Battlefield after breakfast. I dressed in 4 layers on top, and two on the bottom. I think I overestimated the cold...plus it was closer to 11am by then and getting warmer, so I ended up shedding a top layer. I tried out my new EMS Endo Trek pants that I got on Saturday. The pants were 50% off, but these were already on clearance and when the guy rang me up, they came up as 50% off the clearance price. Woot! I got a $99 pair of pants for $25 bucks. I shot a video pouring water on them (and it ran right off) and sent it to Jen. Now she has to have a pair. I think they'll be real nice for XC skiing this winter. Anyhoosey, back to Manassas.  Rosie and I did about 5.5 miles total. My foot was starting to really hurt towards the end, and even more now that I'm resting. It usually takes a day or two to recover. Lots of stretching, Aleve and rest. Plantar faciitis sucks!
I'm supposed to work out with Maia tomorrow. I will have to find something that does not involve using my feet...much.
