My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


That wind chill doesn't factor in the gusts bringing it closer to 0F.

Anyway! I went for my usual "long" run this morning and it was painful!

I saw another runner and my neighbor who walks his kids in any weather (they have the coolest covered running stroller). We gave each other the "Hello, fellow idiot!" wave instead of the "Nice day for a run, eh?" wave.

It was also lightly snowing, giving it a real nice wintery feel.

I wished I'd made those running shell mitts. I really could have used them this morning. I'll have to make them while I wait for my underwear elastic to get in. (Instead this weekend I made a new pair of runderwear, which did great, so not all that time was spent idle.)

Oddly enough, my throat did not get dry or sore with this run. Usually if it's below 30F I get a little hoarse, but not today. Guess the air was cold enough to soothe my throat! (Eek.)
