Lesson learned: Watch the weather.

So this morning was a beautiful 40+ degrees, little wind, and no precipitation. Tonight the temperature was in the teens, wind of nearly 30 mph, and snow. So which time do you think I chose to run? Yep, in the now and frigid wind.

At about 8 pm I layered up with two pairs of pants, heavy under armour shirt and two running jackets. I put on the YakTraxs and headed out. While I usually say I "just got in my minimum 4 mile run" I can say that I was thrilled to finish this one. With heavy clothes, wind and that temperatures, I put in a lot of effort for a 9:30 mile.

Lesson learned. Watch the weather.
