Now that was a cold run!!!
It was only -17 with the wind chill
This is what happens to my face when the endorphins kick in, regardless of the temperature. When it’s 35 degrees or -17 degrees, like today, it looks the same. 5 years ago, I would have laughed at the crazy bastards running in the cold. Guess my perspective changed after getting in a horrible car accident. The winds were brutal, but I didn’t care. It just made the coffee taste extra awesome today…

Amazing run in the freezing rain
Amazing run, in the freezing rain, out to County Road 29 and back…had a zen moment. Must have been the endorphins:
Distance: 10k
Time: 1:04:17
Endorphins (“endogenous morphine”) are endogenous opioid peptides that function as neurotransmitters.[1] They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise,[2] excitement, pain, consumption of spicy food,love and orgasm,[3][4] and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a feeling of well-being.

S.A.D. 9K & Homebrew
Had to get out for a run. The seasonal affective disorder is really kicking in. This time of year, I leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark. That really sucks ass. The run really helped with it..
Distance: 9.01k

Muddy, wet, sunny 14K
Decided to run out of town into the farmlands of Wellington County. Was cold with freezing rain at the start (-1), then it was sunny, then it was windy. There was a few muddy parts of the run, but overall a great run. Sinuses were giving me issues from the cold air.

2012 and winter is here!
Been a mild winter, until now..looking forward to hitting the slopes in the next week, as there is some serious powder out there, or “pow” as the ultra-hip skier dorks say. I may head out for a run, but the winds are screaming at Ontario today.
Winter Is Here!
2012:
Didn’t make any official resolutions, but I guess I will continue on from last years: stay healthy and run my ass off. 1,500 km in 2012. 2 marathons are in the plans. I am running on Dec. 22nd, no matter what those Mayans say.
Party on…
