Oh yes, it was cold

I was all prepared for my 7 miler last night. I was ready for some flour running. It was supposed to be as warm as 2F. And I had DAWG.

I knew there was a wind chill down to about -11F but this was not a major concern. And I planned my run to avoid this as much as possible.

Whoops… WRONG.

GOOD:

• The snowy path was mostly nicely packed. Not so much flour.
• DAWG managed to kick in some Nitrous Dogxide when I needed a boost.
• It was a good steady run.

BAD:

• Wind shifted or something I blasted me most of the time.
• Much colder than expected–I suspect because I ran at night and I wasn’t soaking up some rays.

RESULT:

• A bit chilled when finished but warm for the run.
• Balaclava frozen solid, difficult to get off.
• Hair frozen solid. Ice hair. Fun.
• Inside of jacket, thin layer of frost on the inside.
• Fleece running shirt, thin layer of frost on the outside.
• DAWG, looking to run another 4 miles.
