Winter is here. After a bit of snowfall overnight, it was time this morning to head out for a little run. Only four miles, so why was I not looking forward to it? Probably because it was -9, with 40-60 km/h winds. That translates to a "feels like" temperature of -19. Less than fun. But I suited up anyways, and headed out the door.
Turns out, I was a little overdressed. It wasn't until I got a decent sweat going that I started to feel cold at all, due to the sweat freezing. Running into the wind wasn't pleasant, mainly because it was cold, and also strong enough to almost stop you in your tracks, thus making you be in the cold that much longer. Otherwise, the run itself was actually pretty enjoyable. Lots of folks were out shovelling their drives, or heading for church, so I got quite a few puzzled looks. That's always fun.
Run: 4.2 miles, zone 1-2
