Came back recently from a trip to New York, with my mom and Sis to visit my new baby niece, brother and sister in law. I would post pics of baby but I dont have permission from her 'rents so I'll just say that sweetie made me miss babies. Alot.
Anyway, heres my mom running in the snow near the Hudson. Cold. Cold. And more cold.
While there I decided to go running with my Bro since I had the Great Aloha Run to do when I got home. It was 12 degrees. I kept feeling for my ears to make sure they were still there and hadnt fallen off yet. Seriously, if someone had just warned me, like "Hey idiot, you need to put a cap on or your ears, which are sticking out of your face, will freeze and be extremely uncomfortable. Or just fall off, really." That would have been mucho helpful, Bro.
Well, I lived through that and the Aloha Run with a hugely sore toe, it's turning black and purple entirely, while I speak. And I would do it again. But with different shoes and ALOT more training, - and not in 12 degree weather. Yo, those runners in extreme temps are keeraaayzee.
Brrr!!!

hehe - yep hats are good in that sort of weather. I have never understood the concept of running for pleasure. Need to save yourself - definitely run. For the heck of it??? Never got that. :)
