I went for a run this morning, in the beautiful falling snow. I wore a sweatsuit, figuring that would be enough, as running would provide plenty of body heat.

I was only out for eleven minutes, because it's been many years since I've been running in below-freezing temperatures. And while my running certainly kept my core temperature at a good level, my ears and fingers went numb in a hurry. After five minutes, I decided frostbite would be a bad thing, so I turned around and headed home. I didn't even make a mile and a half distance. Not exactly a shining moment in athleticism.

Tomorrow I'll be wearing gloves and either earmuffs or a hat.
