    Onemile apparently does not get cold fingers, only cold palms.

     

    I actually thought of her/this on my 12*F run today ("feels like" temps of -6*). As I put thumb hole shirt thing over my thumbs. And into my huge Manzella mittens . Seriously, how???!

      Lately, the cars are getting to have too many functions though.  Last thing I want is to be on cruise control at 75mph (max here on the Turnpike) and have it reduced to 60mph because there is a car in front of me three cars down.  The Volvo I had to rent after one of my accidents and the Chevy we had this weekend had that capability.  Lincoln better not do that for my next lease.

        I feel like it'll be awhile before they make that mandatory. Was it last winter that some pedestrians were killed by some of those auto-cars? The ones that do all the driving for you?

          Yeah, but more and more cars are putting that thing as a great thing. It isn't.

            I think that was a completely driverless car - different situation. Not sure where that'll go - such a huge adjustment for people to get used to. I'm sure it's going to fuck up and hit some people. But I bet way fewer people than human drivers will hit. However the driverless car has to just do it once, and the technology gets a big black eye.

             

            And the cars that slow down when you get too close to the car in front of you - that seems like a good thing to me, as long as it's calibrated properly to not require an excessive amount of space.

              Yeah, but they aren't.  I mean, I don't need to have the next car be in Ft Lauderdale for me to 70mph on a fucking interstate.  WTF.  Maybe they should have an alarm for it, not decide to reduce you to 40-50mph just because.  I ended up not using the cruise control after a couple of times when I had that Volvo and my husband ran out of fucks within a day this weekend.

                Or maybe you're just a chronic tailgater.

                  10 miles. They were invigorating really cold. I think my face froze when I was going into the wind.

                    Ha, not at all.  People tailgate a lot here (which is how I got hit earlier last year).  Braking for tailgaters is a passtime here, BTW.

                      Onemile, looking at your instagram I am so jealous!!!! Those trails look AMAZING to run on, even for hiking too lol.

                       

                      It's beautiful here - tons of trails all over

                       

                      I always have great intentions of keeping up my training while on vacation but that very quickly evaporates.

                      Yesterday I hiked 6.5 miles, drove a few hours and by the time I had time to run it was dark out so I went to the hotel treadmill for 7 miles.

                       

                      Today I've been walking around all day, including a 5 mile hike on a trail, some shopping, etc. And now I'm beat.    I should go get on the treadmill again but...

                       

                      If I was here by myself I would have run already today but I did stuff with my mom instead...

                        I would wear one of those stretchy $1 gloves from target in 12!
