Avoiding frostbite

It's officially FAC in New York city. That's Freezing-Ass-Cold for those of you who aren't in the know. While I have been loving my runs outside, the forecast of 2 degrees yesterday didn't entice me.

This is me in full winter running gear in front of my New Hampshire house on Thanksgiving day 2006.

Yesterday I had a 13 mile training run scheduled. I was imagining that running for 2 hours in the cold and wind would be even more miserable than 2 hours on a treadmill.

So I broke down and joined the New York Sports Club.

Each treadmill has it's own TV! So I got caught up on 'Last Comic Standing' as I ran. I have trained myself to read on the treadmill too, so I caught up on Outside magazine and Runners World magazine. Even was able to chat with dad a little. Ahh, the benefits of being inside....
