Title: Cool weather running
Post by: Matthew Rowley on January 14, 2010, 03:38:36 pm
What is the coldest someone had run outside

A few days after christmas I ran 8 miles the last time I passed a bank it read in Read 7 Degree F -14 Degrees C

This is time to brag people from cache valley

-10 degrees F, on three different occasions this winter. It's not so bad if you dress appropriately.

I have 5 different tiers of winter running clothing, based on certain temperatures

*Sub-zero (I've had to wear this combo a fair amount this year).
*0-10
*10-25
*25-35
*35+ (has only happened once or twice this winter)

I can usually accurately estimate temperature based on the degree of eyelash or nosehair freezing. Seriously.

So how do you estimate the temp based on eyelash freezing? 
I believe you, a number of times I have come home with frost on my eyelashes but have no idea how cold it is.

-12 F before wind chill a few years ago with Dan S out on the desert at the INL.  We went about 2 miles total and came back wondering what in the H#$* we thought we were doing!  Dan S. frosbit his nose a bit and he says it still isn't the same to this day.
