Winter Death Grip


I don't mind cold; temperatures in the 20's are tolerable to run in. Those days usually add up to one maybe two weeks of winter. This year however, 20's might to be the high temperature for the whole week. So far this winter my running accomplishment include: 

1. Completing a run at an official temperature of 0 degrees 
2. Running with below 0 wind chills
3. Running in the middle of a 10 inch snow storm (picture below) 
4. Going for a run only to learn school was cancelled while I was out running 
5. Missing 3 full weeks of school due to snow, ice and temps 
6. Running trails before and after the snow (picture above) 
7. Setting a new record of 5 straight miles on the Dreadmill 


I'm not quite sure how how people north of Missouri do this on a consistent basis, but it makes me wonder......

1. The cities are so good at handling snow there is always a clear path
2. Northerners really like the treadmill 
3. There are giant indoor running arenas 
4. Full body heated running suits 

Whatever it is I'm impressed, applaud you, and don't want to join you anytime soon. Good bye winter, return your article cold and let your runners free.
