Cold but Fun

Running during cold winter months is not great but could be fun: slippery roads, frozen fingers, steaming like an old train.
Today I started my official training for #CPC Den Haag and Erasmus Charity Run 2024. It was a short run (5 KM) but hopefully I will be able to build up the distance and tempo until March/April. 

Temperature was around 0 degrees with some cold wind from the north. The difference running against and with the wind is quite big: when running against the cold wind you really feel it breaking through your skin and you have to wear proper clothing. Once direction changes, there is suddenly no need for a hat, gloves or anything to protect the exposed areas. At that point, I started to feel my fingers again...

The great thing about running in freezing weather is that you really need to run to be somewhat comfortable.
