Running in cold > Running in hot

This post is the second in a three-part series to get caught up with my running exploits after having been out of town for Thanksgiving weekend.


Saturday morning another Detroit run remained. I was staying downtown, so the run went around Comerica Park -- which looks super nice by the way, I want to visit in the summer and see a few games.  This time the distance was only 4 miles.  I say 'only' because after the past few weeks, 4 miles feels like a walk around the block. 


Except that this walk took place with a wind chill of 20F.  It really wasn't so bad in the sun -- if you can called Michigan sun 'sun' -- but when those wind gusts hit, it was not pleasant.  That being said, I still preferred it over running in the hot.  And my time was better than most Florida runs as well.


However, it is entirely possible that running in 20F wind chill was not helpful for my cold, since it continued to stick around.  Blech.  Enough!  I know that it's common to get sick during taper time, but still.  Irritating.  And annoying!
