Its cold.

I used to like the cold. Before I had to run in it. Now times have changed, and I shiver.

So here’s what I’ve learned {so far} about running in the cold:

• LAYER up!
• Cover your ears, they’ll thank you later
• Wear Gloves {or end up complaining the whole time}
• Breathing in the cold air feels like you’re being stabbed in the throat {I’m just sayin’…}
• The wind is not your friend, run away from it.
• The first steps always hurt the most, then after you get moving it fades away.
• You feel super hardcore for running in the winter, and hope cars pass you by so they experience how cool you are.
• You’ll sweat, but have no idea until your home and change.
• Thinking about a warm shower WILL help you run faster.
• And last, like any other time running, you will feel completely awesome and accomplished.

Happy Running M’Friends!
