Early Winter Running

There’s times when it is just cold and wet. And then there are times when it is just cold and wet, in the Northeast. It seems to be a special cold and wet – much more cold (and wet) than in other places.

Yesterday we were planning on a 10 mile trail run on nearly frozen ground but it has been raining all night. Instead we’ll be grinding out 7 or so miles on roads in the rain. And you know what? It’ll feel good. Maybe not my cold hands or my wet toes, but I’ll be happy I went for a run.

When the cats are hunkered down you know it just might be nasty outside.
