I had an interesting run last
I had an interesting run last night, and of course I always push the limits in the winter.
5 miles in Huaraches (without socks) 16 degrees.
Time: 40:57
Pace: 8:12
Anyways got home from class around 10:15pm, quickly changed into my running gear and headed out the door. I had no clue it was 16 degrees at the time, I didn't check the temp, i just knew it was cold.
Everything was cool until mile 4 when my heels started to go numb, just by instinct I knew the temps were exrtemely low, because I don't usually get effected by the cold that quick.
By mile 5 I was having some concerns and couldn't wait to get home. The last mile I had to play a guessing game of landing lightly because I had zero ground feel. Got home and instantly put my feet in some nice warm slippers, I learned a little tip that with hands and barefeet that have been exposed to freezing temps for sometime, you want to gradually warm them up slowly. You don't want to rush to a hot shower, or something like that. Luckly my feet were fine, my pinky toe never warmed up when I went to bed, and that was like 45 minutes in slippers. I was concerned because it was completely white compared to my other toes, I thought I did damage to it but it didn't fall off when I slept, and it's functioning again.
