Man was it cold today. Ten miles in 20 degrees and colder.

By the end of my walk, I was exhausted and my outside hat layer was frozen at the brim. Nice. I saw at least twenty other people getting in a workout; enjoying the clear and cold day. 

Lesson re-learned today regarding cold weather hydration, even though it’s cold you still need the same amount of hydration that you consume during hot weather walks. I had enough water but just barely.

I know you’ve heard the layers thing a thousand times. Layers, layers and more layers. Here’s one trick, wear layers that can unzip at least five or ten inches at the neck, allowing good air flow when needed. This way I can cool down slightly then zip back up quickly and easily especially with gloves.

Enjoy the cold and dress properly. Protect your nuffies boys and girls.
