We had an unusually mild week last week. Temps were in the low 30's for most of the week, and it nearly hit 40 on both Thursday and Friday. It looks absolutely disgusting around here, kind of like late spring, as most of our snow has melted.
However, it has made for some good running.
In fact, Friday after work I opted to do my weekend long run. It was 39 degrees and drizzling, which sounds worse than it really is. I put in 12 miles, and it was one of the better long runs I have had in recent weeks. The reason I chose to do the long run on Friday? This:

We plunged back into the freezer on Saturday. Temperatures were in the low single digits with wind chills in the teens below zero. The picture above was from this morning's run. 1 F, -13 below wind chill, just enough to put a nice frosty coating on the hat and facemask.
It's not bad. Long time readers know I really don't mind running in this. But it was definitely easier to get the longer miles done when it was 38 degrees warmer!

They say that starting next Sunday, we'll have highs below zero!
Smart to run when warmer - though I really dislike the combination of drizzle and temps in the 30's.
Did both of my longish runs this weekend when temps had plummeted. It's not too bad when dressed correctly - even had to shed some layers!
Not sure how frosty I got, but could see signs on my gloves. I figure if my eyelashes don't freeze shut it's not really all that could out.
Steve, I saw next week's forecast. This does not look like fun!
Wild Knits, the eyelashes are always a good barometer for how cold it is! :) I guess as long as we can see where we are going, then it isn't that cold! ;-)
