Note to Garmin, Apple and Rayovac your equipment works at -26. Weather this extreme is literally cool and few people get to experience it like we do. As long as you dress for it you can do most things that you wouldn't be able to do in the extreme heat for the most part. Going to -28 tonight and then it looks like the trend is relatively warmer. Now...do I need to ice my joints or are they already iced  |
I LOVE going out running in the extreme cold. Nobody around, just the sound of your feet pounding the snow. The first few deep breaths can be a little shocking but the body adjusts quickly!
But right now in Abu Dhabi I get out running after work when it's in the high 20's and humid. I find those to be way tougher conditions for running!
But much, much more pleasant conditions for the rest of my life....
