During my recuperation, I just did some very mild workout indoors on my Ellipse. Also, I did some research on the gears required for outdoor running in cold weather. The gear list includes wicking layer, a running jacket, a neck buff, thinsulate cap, wicking gloves, running socks and even wicking briefs! Ordered them online on REI. Will post the photos when they arrive.
BTW, Wedding anniversary #5 :-)

Week1: Got inspired... and Got Sick!
After the initial information session, I got totally inspired. The training coaches advised me to do some regular warm-up 
exercises (ellipse, treadmill and some indoor activities) until end of January. The first boot camp starts only in the first week of February.
So, what did I do? I came home, wore my cotton T-shirt, track suits, my old sneakers and headed out. It was 32 deg outside (Yes, you polar bears from elsewhere, the denizens of the SF Bay area are delicate). I did not wear any head/ear protection. I caught some bug and had a severe strep throat. I did not bother to give any fight. I just went with the flow and let it run its course. The antibiotics for my tonsils flare-up wore me out.
It did not quite start well.. Hopefully, it gets better from here!
