So I'm supposed to run in a 5K Saturday night.
Yes. Night. In the dark. And cold.
It's a 5K I wanted to do last year, but since I was curled up in the fetal position I couldn't. So I was planning on doing it this year. It runs through neighborhoods and part of it runs through the park that's on the lake. Add to it the big holiday light displays that are set up throughout the park and it could be a cool run.
So what's the problem?
Mother Nature.
It's supposed to be a bit frigid this weekend. We're talking a high in the mid-20s during the day. With snow. And once it gets dark? The skies clear up and the mercury in the thermometer plummets. Into the single digits. And don't forget the gusty winds from the north.
That's cold. Down right frigid. At least for the first weekend in December.
Brrr.
So do I run it and run the risk of turning into an ice cube right by the polar bear light display?
