Arctic run




Actually the temperature here has been relatively warm for this time of the year (about -5 degC) so finally I braved the ice and snow.  Packed snow under bare feet all the three and a bit miles way.

The key is to get warmed up first on the treadmill - this gets the circulation going, especially important for the feet.

Two layers on top, usual shorts, scarf in case I needed it (I didn't) and gloves. No problem at all running in these conditions, although I grant my feet were cold on getting back and I did another 1/4 mile on the treadmill to warm up,
