I’ve found a new way to tell me that I need to do a better job shaving. When I run with the temp at -25, frost gathers on my facial hairs. (I can’t call them whiskers because I still have mostly baby face fuzz). After about 5 minutes today, I began to see specks of white popping up below my eyes.
By the time I finished, after 40 minutes, there was a veritable forest of snow-covered trees below those eyes. I will have to look closely to determine what was my lower eyelash, and which were/are stray hairs. My hands used to be the coldest part of my body. The socks have helped with that problem. Today, it was my nose and cheeks. I think there may have even been frost in my nostrils. My lips were also stinging. I surely know what it means when people say that it is too cold to snow. Is it a coincidence that this week, after 10 days of sub 10 degree Fahrenheit weather, it will warm up to freezing and then the snow will fall?
As far as the pull-ups and leg ups are concerned, for now, I am firmly in the 17/11 camp. I do sets of 17/11 when I go out and 17/11 when I return. I can't stand to be stationary for any longer than that.
You can see the frost in the picture below. It looks a bit out of focus--that is because of the steam coming from my mouth. This was taken on Saturday when the temp was a balmy -15.
