I think so. At least you didn't wimp out like me. I now have to run extra on Sat/Sun to make my mileage. Be proud of your HTFU!

My log looks VERY sad! My only consolation is that I didn't do much last January, either, partly a heel injury, partly weather. Having grown up in Africa I am not good at dealing with this weather, how these people from the far north (Alaska/NWT) manage is amazing.

You grew up in Africa? How cool is that? Which country? As for the locals, I agree completely. I moved from southern Illinois to Tampa to get away from the winters. I moved from Tampa to Toronto a year and a half ago because... um... well... I know there had to be a reason. No, seriously. I love it up here. Easily my favorite city. But the locals here are just freaks when it comes to the cold. I was out on my run Thursday, it's like -15 with a windchill of -4billion or something, I'm in so many layers that there is actually a half second delay from when my leg moves inside the clothing and when that motion is detectable to an observer, and I pass some dude walking down the street in just jeans and a jacket. No hat. No gloves. Just jeans and a heavy jacket. He wasn't scurrying or at all uncomfortable. He was just strollin' along like it was June or something. Dude made me feel like total wimp. I would have hid my head in shame but the balaclava did that for me. MTA: You say your log looks sad. I say you're one good run away from logging more miles than me. I think we both know that will happen at some point before the end of the month. I usually get the distinct honor of being at or near the bottom of kilometers run each month while at the same time being at or near the top of hours spent running. Now that's sad.

Let's see, on top I had a short sleeved tech base layer, a long sleeve tech shirt, a short sleeve tech shirt over that, an warm chilly over that, then a windproof jacket that is completely unlined, just nylon basically, and a bright yellow cotton tank on top of that just so the cars could see me and, well, aim for me evidently. On bottom was just a pair of Mizuno tights that are more spring / fall than winter, a pair of track pants, and a pair of lined water / wind proof pants. I'm really better suited to summer running, lol. I just try to survive in the winter.

Yeah I read somewhere that the ZWD has gotten to the point where one can buy over 16 million of them with one CAD. Isn't there a point where you have to junk the currency altogether and start over? Or is it a situation where the "haves" still manage to have and it's the rest that suffer from the inflation? Did they ever reach a consensus on the last election? I mean, aside from the fact that the guy who lost wasn't going to surrender power to the guy that won.
