My coldest run was -30 Celsius! At that temperature, the water vapour from my breath would catch my eyelids and freeze them shut. Happy times. Winter is coming back in Ottawa. I hope I have time for a run in -10C today.<br /><br />I do agree that the technical gear can make a big difference. Also, if I get cold, I run faster and usually that warms me up.EndorphinBuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122842317916411387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446164153312910458.post-3097916772107902152009-12-15T10:01:30.922-08:002009-12-15T10:01:30.922-08:00Thanks for this.

Of course, it's been below zero for days in a row. Today's high is -5. I'd love it if it got to 12 above!Adam Copelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912715048654392753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446164153312910458.post-70322573901652740092009-12-07T21:16:09.581-08:002009-12-07T21:16:09.581-08:00This is a great post.

It's perfect timing to read this because Charlotte went from mild to COLD this week (and yes, cold here is not like your cold - I think it's in the upper 20s ... nothing like 12 degrees!)<br /><br />Will definitely have to invest in some winter running clothes!Melissahttp://www.melissaoh.comnoreply@blogger.com
