Brrr...

I went running tonight in possibly the coldest weather I have ever run in at night (which makes it even colder, without the solar heat). Weather.com says it dropped from 18 to 16 degrees during my run, and the windchill dropped from 7 to 4 (9 mph wind). Now that's pretty cold! Still, it was a pretty good run, although my shin splint is acting up again. The first 20 minutes were painful - my fingers were burning intensely from the cold, but by the end I felt fine. It's weird, you warm up more and more throughout the run. Half-way through, I couldn't feel my chin, but by the end I could at least tell that it was there. I'm convinced if I had kept going, I would have gotten even warmer.
