When I started my (5 mile) run this morning,
it was 3 degrees Fahrenheit (that's -16 for tooblue). With the wind chill, it was -16 (-26.7 for tooblue).
By the time I got back, it had dropped to 1 (-17 tb), but the wind chill was up to -10 (-23 tb). My water bottle froze and I went thirsty, but my chronically sore leg was really numb - it hasn't felt this good in 5 years. I've never had much to write home about in the package category, but this morning I gave "shrinkage" a new gold standard.

The problem with those temperatures involves breathing. If I breathe deeply at such extreme temperatures I cough a lot. Don't you? A simple word you can learn: "Treadmill." Another word, "indoors".

We have a good treadmill but, with the baby, the treadmill now lives about 7 feet from the bed where my wife was sleeping at 5:45 this morning. I'd rather run in the cold than piss her off. As for breathing, it used to kill me in past years when I'd run outside once in awhile, but I've been doing it regularly this winter and I don't really notice it. Tolerance, I suppose. The human body is amazing.

I never have a problem running in the cold. Perhaps Archaea needs to stop being such a wimp
