Cold Weather Running
It’s been quite cold here lately.
Really cold.
My running buddy and I said we’d run in weather down to -20 celcius. But this last run was a little bit colder…
Note the frozen eyelashes? That was actually quite worrisome. What would you do if your eyelashes froze shut? Take off your glove?—No way! Fingers would freeze off!
Perhaps I’m being a little dramatic. It was warm enough after all to produce droplets of warm water from my breath, so I was obviously not freezing. Just my eyelashes and hands, and cheeks, and nose, were slightly numb.
Not my toes though! I had been wearing the Vibram 5 fingers shoes. Love them. Feels great. Makes my knees happy. But I feared what seemed like the very real possibility of losing my toes on the ever increasingly (decreasingly?) cold runs.
So I was delighted to find these:
Vibram sole, but my toes can stay warm together. My toes don’t get to spread out as much as I like, but they aren’t painfully cold either.
Sorry bud, I don’t think they make them in your size.
