It is getting chilly here in the Mid-Atlantic. It may be fall, but some of the temperatures we've been living with have been downright winterish lately. My run on Saturday started at 9:00 a.m. and 27*. Crazy!
So, my issue is this. I like water (which is a HUGE change for me). What I'm having problems with is now that it's cold outside, I don't want to drink it. It's too cold for water. Every time I drink cold water, it makes me colder. And while I much prefer being cold to being hot, I don't like making myself colder by drinking water. For some reason I can drink cold soda or iced tea, but water? Nope. It's really hard to do.
What do you do? I've taken to drinking water from the faucet cold. It's not as cold as the water we keep in the refrigerator (which is what I drink during the summer), but it seems odd to drink cold water from the faucet. Any tips or suggestions for getting in my water? I need to be hydrated for the race and I'm just trying to find a way to do so without freezing my tail feathers off!
