Cold Run, Hot Shower, Fun Zelda

Last night I went out for a run. The weather website I check said it was 51&degF, but with windchill would feel like 45°F. I bought some of those tight leg things by UnderArmor, and they seemed to work ok. They aren’t really made for warmth, but were very good for last night’s run. My only complaint was that the waist is too tight. Before and after running, I felt like I had a tourniquet around my waist. Anyways, the run started out really cold for the first minute or so, but then I warmed up and ran without my hood on. It was about 8:45pm, but I didn’t see anyone else running or walking, just lots of SUV’s speeding thru the 30mph streets at 50. šŸ™

But the run was good, I did about 4 miles at a nice slow pace and listened to some random Jazztronik on my iPod Shuffle. I did take my GPS unit to measure exactly how far my normal route is, but I couldn’t get a good signal on the satellites. I think it’s because I started out with my hands inside my sleeves, and I have to hold the GPS inside as well. Oh well, I will have to drive the route with the GPS later.

After I got home, I checked the weather site again. The temperature had dropped to 45°F, with a “real-feel” of 36°F. Damn cold! Anyways, I took a nice quick shower, and then browsed the web for a bit before playing some Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Both my brother and I were stuck in the same place (Forest Temple), so we decided to conquer it together: he playing from California, and I in Texas, but chatting over speakerphone. I love unlimited nighttime minutes!

We played for about 2.5 hours without figuring out how to get any farther, and I was getting close to busting out the spoiler guide for some hints, but then I finally stumbled upon the solution!!! I got past this big boulder blocking the doorway to another room, and that was that. We were rolling again! Got the boomerang, compass, figured out a couple more things and rescued a couple more monkeys, but by that time it was 1am and we decided to call it quits. But I learnt from my bro that I missed one of the “Pieces of Heart” somewhere along the line, so I gotta go back and search for it later.
