3 miles at -4 this morning. I've ran in cold weather before, but this is the first time I experienced frozen eyelashes.
Way to go Mateo!! I went 5 on Sunday morning @ 5:30. It was -3 here. Your wimpy brother ran inside.

New personal record for me today, -14 degrees (-30 windchill) and 8 miles. In all honesty I can't really tell the difference between that and 0 degrees. Other than it took longer for my hands to warm up, and my feet never did warm up at all.

I have a few more cold weather running tips that work for me:

Nice eyelashes!! 2 or 3 weeks ago during our last little cold snap I had the eyelashes on the edge of one of my eyes freeze to my cheek (or freeze shut on the edge -- felt like they were frozen to my cheekbone). Never had that happen before! Barely didn't make the club today, but I have a bad feeling I will make it tomorrow....
I've had frozen tears in the corners of my eyes. Is it possible for eyes to get frostbite? I wear safety glasses when I can, but often they fog up so much that I have to take them off.
8F this morning = more miles than I allow time for, but the forecast is for 5F tomorrow morning.
Frost bitten eyes, i'm not sure about. One thing i do know is some shit called Cat Crap. It's an ANTI-FOGGING gel that you can get from, Amazon, REI, EMS or any local outdoors shop. It's ONLY 6 bucks, try ot out.
I've never had any problem with my eyeballs freezing lol. I wear contacts, maybe that helps.
This was from my -14 day.
NikoRosa That is just amazing! I cant believe you went out in such cold temps. **High Fives**
Thanks! My husband says I'm stupidly stubborn. He's at least half right.
Today was -4, ran 6 miles. I looked at the weather forecast and almost had an orgasm when I saw it is supposed to be above freezing on Sunday.
