First Long Run of the Season

coldrun.jpgIf you can call 4 miles long...

I typically do not do much running outdoors when it's 20°F or below. On the other hand, today I was curious to see what subzero was like.

It was cold.

Not too bad, though. I left no exposed skin, and only my arms and feet were cold during the first 5 minutes or so.

After that, the only annoyance was having obscured vision due to frost on my ski goggles. But at least my eyelashes weren't freezing, like I've had happen without goggles on (and on days that aren't as cold as today, at that).

Run stats:

  • -3°F
  • 4.0 mi.
  • 40:00
  • 10:00 min./mi.
  • 479 calories
  • Miles to date: 18.1
  • Map of route
