Winter reminds me of another reason I hate running: winter. Luckily, it provides a very strong incentive to get the run over with as rapidly as my boy will allow: that, too, is winter. 1°, very light breezes, 10:27.
Somehow the timer on my phone got switched from its usual straight-ahead digital timer to a simulated stopwatch during the run. As I was making my last few steps, I pulled out my phone and experienced a moment of — well, not ‘terror’, but intense concern — as I thought I wouldn’t know how to stop the timer. Luckily, I grasped the idea that anything with a red button would stop whatever was going on, so I hit the button and everything worked out.
