Easy run. Average pace 10:25.

Outside temp: 33°F, with a wind chill.

I bundled up pretty good this morning because right before I went out the local news was talking about the wind chill making it feel like 20°. But after I had been going for a while, I was feeling too warm. I unzipped my jacket and took my gloves off and was to the point where I was about to take the jacket off, but then I turned the corner and started going into the wind. I guess I had had the wind behind me up to that point. Right away, I zipped up my jacket, pulled the hood up, and put my gloves back on.

I also had a minor wardrobe malfunction, but it wasn't too big of a deal because I was wearing so many layers. But I'm not going to go into detail about it here on this public blog.

So you guys didn't get any snow?!?! We woke up to about 3 inches of snow this morning and temps in the 20's. Luckily the roads are clear. My kids had a hay day in the first snow of the season.

Nope, no snow here. When I saw the temperature map on 9News this morning, it looked like it was a lot colder in Colorado Springs than here. I think you're at a higher elevation. Where I live is a higher elevation than Denver, but I think you're higher still.

I know what you mean about the wind chill. We're starting to get our first strong winds of the season. When it's at your back you can feel so warm...

Good for you for facing the cold!
