Froze to death on my run this morning. I thought it was only sprinkling rain so I only wore my water-resistant jacket, not my water-proof one. And I got thoroughly drenched. Brrrrr! I was intending to go a bit longer, but I couldn't stand it anymore. (K 346.9)

Later in the afternoon Sam wanted to run some, so I joined him for a half-hour run. We went 4 miles in the drizzle: from the fieldhouse, down 7th north onto highway 89, on the canyon road then up 6th east and back up 4th north, up the old main stairs and across campus back. Fun little run, minimal rain and good company. (DS 52)

Almost... :) Good thing I had an awesome coach!

I actually stay warmer just wearing fleece- it keeps the water on the outside. I find that when I wear jackets due to cold/rain, I build up sweat (and sometimes ice) on the inside which chills me far more.

Keep it rolling Ruthie, you are doing awesome!

If this winter crap up there doesn't kill you, it will just make you stronger.

Jon, I usually do better with staying warm, I just was out of clothes since I hadn't done my laundry for two weeks!

Thanks Holt, that makes me feel lots better. I'm not dead yet! I feel fine... I think I'll go for a walk!
