You know it’s a cold run when…
… it sounds like you’re running on a trail of Grape Nuts (crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch).
… your QUADS are freezing. Cold extremities? Sure. But big, thick hamhock legs covered with thick winter tights? That’s freaking cold.
… there’s a clink when you blink (from the icicles on your eyelashes).
… even the neighborhood dogs look at you like you’re nuts.
… your Garmin freezes up, literally.
… you have to ring the bell when you get home because you can’t turn the doorknob with the claws you have for hands.
… a hot shower is stinging torture.
… you can take off your running clothes & wear them the next day because you didn’t even sweat.
… you’re still shivering at work, four hours after your run.

My favorite time to run!!
