Can we get some more snow please?

This morning was a run day. I was seriously contemplating getting on the treadmill this morning when I looked at the temperature in my truck and it read 2 degrees. Thinking about how cold it was and how there isn’t much room to run because the sidewalks are not always cleared I was setting myself up to stay inside. I got to the Y though and figured it was only a 5 mile run, so I threw on my Yaktrax and went out. I’m pretty sure that at some point there was frost building up on my eye lashes and my face was pretty much frozen. I have to remember to bring a mask or something for a little more face protection when it is that cold, at least my ears were under my hat. Also had hand warmers to keep my fingers warm and they actually got kind of hot in my gloves. After the first mile I found a rythm and everything was fine, but that first mile in the cold really shocks the system! Here are the the results http://connect.garmin.com/activity/65214659.

Apparently there is more snow on the way later today into tomorrow. This really is not helping with the outdoor running! Back indoors on the CompuTrainer tomorrow 🙂
