Jogging on SNOW is like...

Jogging on SAND on the beach: not fun at all!  After sliding around and attempting another 3.5 mile jog, my calves are burning.  So is my face, but that’s just from the freeeezing cold weather today (wind chill 5*F).  I figure by the time I get used to running in the cold, it will be warm enough for me to actually run more than 4 miles and be fairly comfortable.  Well, because ANYTHING would be more comfortable weather for jogging than what I’m out in this month.

Eyelashes like Icicles.

It’s straight up freezing outside.  It’s 17*F with a windchill of 7*F.  I just got done jogging 4 miles around Prospect Park.  There were a couple of miles there where I thought icicles were forming on my eyelashes.  No joke.

Today I also signed up for my first jogging race ever.  On Sunday, February 15, I’ll be at Prospect Park participating in a 5K race around the park.  It should be great!

Stay warm.
