The coldest run

I think this morning's run was the coldest one ever for me. It was 13F, and with wind chill the temp was 2F. Very rough!

The run was with the local running group. Being the slowest in the group of three (today) I was asked to set the pace. I was hoping to set a pace of 8' 30", but it was very difficult - perhaps I was setting a 8' 45" pace. To make it harder, a tall hill was chosen for the route.

Nevertheless, I managed.

It was so cold that the tear drops (my eyes watered constantly!) on my eye lashes froze into big balls of ice! It was such an awkward thing.

The other two, who are excellent runners, were very kind to me, though.

It was a great run overall, and I am very happy that I did it. Ran a total of nearly 4 miles in ~35 mins.
