Out for a run this morning (btw, you would not believe how much warmer -12 is than -15), I saw a person taking a walk across frozen Lake Ontario. Some guys that were watching him said he came all the way from Burlington, walking in the most direct path. Looks like he saved himself quite a bit of effort with that one.
Later, I saw others playing some hockey, much closer to shore, and I decided that I really should get out more, even when it’s chilly.
In my running days, my cutoff temp was +20. Lower than that, and I’d stay in. Now I realize what a wuss I was.

I have been a wuss to the cold, too (I blame my California roots), but I was inspired by Chris Uggen’s tale of his water bottle freezing solid on his runs. That is hardcore.
