Cold!!!!

I did five miles in the cold last night. Temp was -2 with about a 12mph wind. Around 3.25 miles, I was miserable. My back is still sore and falling on the ice Sunday night has not helped any. . . Legs were cold and knees were starting to protest a bit. . . Then an interesting thing happened. I focused on my stride; pictured myself running free and efficient. I wish I could say I kept it up for the remaining 1.75 miles, but my focus is not that good. But I did keep it up for extended periods of time and during those periods, nothing hurt, nothing was cold, I felt great. Each footfall was wonderful.

Tonight's forecast: 3* with 20mph wind. This weekend is treadmill time, with the highs below zero.
