Could Be Worse

My weather app read 15F when the alarm went off this morning. It was at least 20 by the time I got to the gym. But I was so cold that I kept my hoodie on through the entire cardio session and only took it off briefly to do a set of pull-ups. I actually put it back on once I cooled down in the Aerobics Room. And I kept it on while doing 10 minutes of steps and another set of pull-ups.

College kids are back for the holiday break but the gym isn't very crowded today. It's been frosty for days now, and not good weather to be standing around fumbling with car fobs. My 12-year old Subaru only has one key entry on the driver's side so when I tried to unlock the passenger side door to put groceries inside, I couldn't. And when I used my key, the car alarm went off and nothing on my fob would quiet it down. I had to actually start the ignition to turn the alarm off! Thank goodness I didn't have to go to the dealership for a replacement part. It's just the battery...

I'm very happy that you can find just about anything on the internet, including YouTube videos showing you how to change your fob battery, and the fact that the CR 2025 can be replaced with a CR 2032, which apparently has a larger capacity. Luckily, I already had an opened package of CR 2032 in my cabinet (they come in packs of 4)! I'll have to remember to buy a replacement package because we always keep spare batteries handy. Be prepared!

Temps are supposed to warm up to mid-40s during the day. My dogs don't care. They've been deliriously happy running through the park in the cold. They're winter pups and the arctic winds give the park a very wintry feel. But at least it's not snowing, like it was in Buffalo where the snowfall dwarfs even regular height folks.

Still Got DOMS

I'll admit that I'm a bit surprised to still be experiencing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) a day after a set of Walking Lunge...
