Running optimized by the cold conditions #Running

Dear James, Daniel and Emily


Wow that was a cold one!



Nothing like single digit temps to force you to move and keep moving! And you know that you have maybe turned the corner from forcing yourself to run for health to it becoming a habit when you don't really blink or thing twice about running in these conditions.

Although I have to admit I didn't live up to my ideal tempo, but that was primarily due to the ice and snow, tough to feel comfortable running at high speeds when you are having to cross streets with the traction of an ice rink. But I did as best I could, and it was kind of fun. Especially savoring the looks of the people sitting or standing in the cold waiting for work and/or buses as I jogged past them. That look that says: 'oh look a crazy person out running in this weather'.
