9 degree run


It was a frigid 9 degrees this morning on my run to work, my coldest run ever. I also ran in yesterday in 6 inches of snow. People at work thought I was nuts, but to be honest, I felt safer running than driving on the roads. Today it was icy, and I had my first wipeout. Thankfully I landed on my butt (lots of padding), and wasn't hurt. Here is my new Brooks running outfit.

That sounds painful (the temp and the fall!) One of the ladies that came to our camp from Boston said that when it gets below 15 or 20, they will put vaseline on their face/cheeks. I guess it helps with the cold - just thought I would pass that info along (I'm hoping never to have to use it.)

You are a sexy man.

Remember when Mike broke his arm running in ice/snow?

Yes, if I recall correctly, he tried to jump over a Honda Civic and slipped when he stepped on the hood. No such antics are a part of my run.
