Against the Wind

If I don’t die from the cold, I’ll die from slipping on frozen tiles inside the park’s bathrooms. Time to brace the winds and head home, Hannah. You did not survive the Belomisian poisons and fire traps to get vanquished by a snowflake.

Deathly Cold

I can’t see the time flying by when I’m on the rink, so before I know it, it’s dark and the temperatures are absolutely freezing. I find the nearest spot to warm up and I intend to stick to it.

About the time I can finally feel the tip of my fingers again, I get a visit from a hooded figure I’m familiar with. I’m too cold to be afraid, but he looks tired.

“Don’t sweat it,” he tells me. “You’re good. You did well to find fire, though, I didn’t feel like doing this whole thing for a fourth time today. And in the same park, too.”

“A fourth time?”

“Yeaaaaaah, it’s a cold day, and they weren’t careful. Anyway, don’t stay there too late. I’m off the clock.”

And with a faint cloud of dark smoke, he disappears.

I wait until the blood goes back to the tip of my nose, and then I take his advice, and I get the heck out of the snow.

Terry Crews of Brooklyn 99 gives the best advice on physical fitness.

Seriously, his Reddit AMA is the most genuinely upbeat, positive actor interview ever. Another great bit:

To be honest, this was the healthiest advice for getting into working out I’ve ever read, and it really was the inspiration for me to start running and going to the gym.

No judgement, no “you need to be doing this” mess. Just a simple “do what you can. and feel comfortable”
