Went to the gym this morning and ran 5 miles on the treadmill. Yuck. I hate those things. But there's too much ice and snow on the pavement for me to run outside without breaking a hip.

Had a pretty easy ride to work. 9°F and about a 10 mph headwind.

Later this afternoon I'm going to ride to the cardiologist for my yearly check-up on my congenital heart condition. As part of their routine check-in process they always ask, "Do you feel well enough to walk to the examining room, or would you like a wheelchair?"

One of these days I'm going to work up the nerve to ask for the wheel chair, and then put my bike helmet back on as they wheel me down the hall.
