Running in the Cold

December around here is usually cold-ish and dreary, so I am loving our recent spell of bright, sunny, sub-35 degree days. It's the perfect winter running weather as far as I'm concerned. No grumbling about getting soaked. No worries about slipping on muddy trails, twisting an ankle on slick, unstable ground or wiping out while running down a wet, steep sidewalk (all of which I've done). Just toss on some layers and go. I'm trying to store up enough Vitamin D and cheefulness to get me through the dark season without turning into a total crab. Fingers crossed!
