It was 3 degrees (with wind chill) today when I went for my run. Granted it was only a 1 mile run, but it was brutal. Again the biggest challenge was the snow getting packed in around my ankles. Having ice cubes form in your shoes is not a great feeling. Surprisingly once I got going, the cold wasn't too bad. The wind was harsh on my exposed face, but my body kept me heated enough and I didn't really notice. It was eerily quite running on the fresh powder, and having traffic roll by on the same. My Yaktrax and new gloves proved to be lifesavers today.
I was still able to train outside in "Blizzard 09" as it has been called by our (cough) amazing local forecasters.
