I had Becca help me pin my headphone cord to my shirt, because there are few things more annoying than your earbuds getting pulled out midway through a run.

I would like to highlight a specific one of those things. Stepping into a pothole full of icy cold water less than a block into your run is not very high up on my “favorite ways to start a run” list… not that I actually have such a list. If I did, however, you can be sure that stepping into a cold puddle would not be on it.

But yeah… I was looking really stylish with my headphones pinned to my shirt. Don’t you agree?

Me getting ready for a winter run
Yes, the calendar behind me is still on November 2010... don't judge me.

I also tried out a different set of layers. Instead of wearing a couple shirts and a bulky sweatshirt, I put on multiple long sleeve shirts and put a t-shirt on over them. It actually worked really well, and I think that’s what I’ll do on Saturday for the 5k.

But that’s enough talk for now. It’s time for bed, so here are tonight’s numbers:

Jog around the block

1.63mi, 21:11min, 13:06 min/mi pace
MapMyRun workout

I’m not sure, but that may be a new personal best… remind me to check later.

Peace out.
