Well, this run reminded me of the benefit of having a treadmill this time of year. Ran on a bike trail covered in ice 30% of the time. Not a big deal. It was about 30 dg and sunny. Felt great on the way out, but on the way back I was running into a stiff wind. It felt like a wind chill in the teens and with a good sweat worked up I was absolutely freezing. Obviously, I was ill prepared to confront that kind of wind chill clothing wise, but I thought the temp and sun combo would rule. Wrong! Being use to running in mostly indoor temps didn't help.
