"Frostbite!"

I'm pretty sure I lost a few cells in my nose today.  The first km and the last km were into that nasty wind, and while the first didn't feel that bad, I was a bit nervous at the end.  I have tried time and time again to run with my face covered, but just find it impractical.  I have so much mucus running out of my nose and mouth that within 5 minutes my balaclava is completely frozen solid.  That's when it really gets cold.  I never thought the day would come when my favourite workout is in the basement.  I tell you, that when spring gets here, I am gonna be so grateful!

Aside from the cold it was a tough run, and it has left me feeling quite fragile.  "Fragile" is not something I do well.  I think tomorrow will be an "easy" day in the basement.  They're promising a one day break from the cold on Saturday, and I'm hoping to get a long run in....hoping.

I also had my only swim of the week this morning, as I had priorities on Tuesday.  That doesn't concern me at all, and the swim itself was uneventful.

run 7.5 kms, swim 1500 metres
