I am officially addicted to the TV show The Walking Dead. My sister recommended that I get caught up to season 3 on Netflix so that's what I'm doing even as I type. I stayed up until midnight watching some of season 2 but I had to cut myself off so I could run early this morning.
It was a whopping 9 degrees outside but with the wind chill it was below zero. Three layers on top, two on the bottom, hat, gloves, mask...toasty warm. Well not really but I was good for 4 miles anyway. Our Turkey Leg was also a bit chilly this year; 21 degrees with a strong west wind.
No matter how cold it is outside friends make running much more pleasant. Especially when my braces rub my mouth raw and all I can think about is getting home to cover the sharp edges with wax. Oh yeah look at these beauties.

Caitlin should be getting her braces off before Christmas but for me I have another 2 1/2 years of suffering. She laughs at me quite often and the first thing she said was, "Old people look weird with braces on." First of all I am not old and second yes it might look weird for an older person to have them but I want straight teeth too.
I was afraid I'd be in too much pain to be able to run or workout after spending two hours at the dentist but I actually felt ok. The only time my teeth really hurt was when I tried to bite into some food. I was able to eat all the Thanksgiving food without having any major problems but it turned cold before I finished. Mike said I could blend the turkey like baby food and eat it that way. I guess braces are good for weight loss anyway.
The good news is my teeth don't get really cold when I run and my mouth did not freeze shut (sorry Nico). The bad news is I need to learn how to bite and chew my food differently. I have to suck on my gum which makes working out and running more interesting but I'll get the hang of it.
