My Ears Froze But I Did it Anyway

Our first real cold front came today. The high was 65 with frigid gusts of wind. We mostly stayed inside except to walk Dyno. I love the smell of fall and winter and even the refreshing air but the cold part I can do with out. In my opinion, it shouldn't get any colder than it was today. Unfortunately that's not how the seasons work. At least it will be better here than it was in Portland. Boy, I do not miss running in Portland fall and winters. Freezing + Rain = Miserable Nicole! My least favorite part is when my ears get cold. Even when we used to go up to Timberline on Mount Hood my ears would freeze like popsicles. It hurts, I feel like they're on the verge of frostbite. Yes, I wear a hat. What can I say, I just have sensitive ears.
Anyhow, I did another 3 miles this evening. It was 53 degrees with a 15 mph head wind. Brrrrr. I still walked for about a minute and a half about half way through. I managed to complete my run in 30 minutes 12 seconds! I was so happy to get inside when I was done that I kept running to get home faster.
