A light snow and it was quite nice...

Sunday's LONG run was a different story
More snow

| ice-crusted eyebrows! eeek |

| Be safe! Thanks Donna |

| snow day fuel |
The wind was so brutal, I was running wearing
a neoprene face mask-a definite first for me.
 |
| Between the Atlantic Ocean and "The Pool" you could literally lean into the winds here it was pretty strong and blew us around quite a bit. |

| Training buddy, Marc |

| I swear, this is the first time this boy has worn pants! He's usually in shorts |

What are some extreme conditions you have subjected yourself to during training?
Do you prefer hot or cold training weather?
Brrrrrr!!! Sorry, I know I live in the midwest and am subject to this weather, but I hate training in it. 60 degrees is a nice temp to train in for me
ReplyDeleteI would respond but my fingers froze to the keyboard ;-)
ReplyDeleteWay to get out there and get it done!
Total hard core!
holy crap that's insane! Training to the extreme! Good for you just getting out there. try not to get blown out to sea please.
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting our first significant snow of the year tomorrow (Mother Nature is completely on crack this year) and I can guarantee you that I won't be running in it. You are amazing! Love the #noexcuses! I'll either pay for a day pass to the Y and use the treadmills with a friend or jump on my bike trainer - or snuggle up with hot cocoa. Whichever!
ReplyDeleteWasn't 'neither' a choice? I guess if you put my feet to the fire I'd pick cold, since I'm a sweater and I dehydrate easily.
ReplyDeleteI ran in Maine in the snowstorm on Sunday. I'll blog about it later.
ReplyDeleteI like cold weather running although that day didn't work so well!
It was definitely a pants day.
Good lord that is INSANE!!!!! well done :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know me! I love me some cold weather :) Way to get out there!
ReplyDeleteWow I give you major kudos for running in that weather!!! Myself I prefer the heat; was on the bike yesterday and was cold and dreaming about those days where its 100+ and feels like you're riding inside of a blow dryer :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you use the gilet - and I adore the photo of you and Marc!
ReplyDeleteYou're an animal!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a wimp compared to this!!!
Running in 7 degree weather with the sun out is nothing compared to this!
