Wait, does a 1 km walk in snow at -9C count? Don't matter, I'm putting it in for my country. Not much but it is something, foot feels great, it was extremely hard to not break out in a run. As a precaution I had my wife come with me for the walk to keep me in check so I wouldn't run.
Yesteray when I ran here it was so warm I finished up in a tee shirt and shorts and could walk comfortably. But we finally got some cold enough air back in again that I got to put some more miles in this morning.
Partial tear of the Peroneal Brevis tendon. Agitated it again by starting to run before the healing process was done, just to eager to post those winter miles. Now for the next few weeks I'll try to get some walks in long enough to post in the winter challenge. Yesterday another 1 km barefoot walk at -5C windchill. The snow was a little slushy and made it feel a lot colder than than the day before.Hey Dutchie ... are you busted? What happened?
You're averaging 4+ mi per run. Not bad at all! You finding your feet are warming up during your run?
Hope you heal up quick there Dutchie. I am just hoping the slushy crap disappears soon as I do not like running in that barefoot, to hard to keep the feet warm.Partial tear of the Peroneal Brevis tendon.

Just had my coldest temperature run. 9 km @ 29 degree F. The coldest I could go last winter was 34 degrees so I think my tolerance is improving. Maybe it has to do with improved blood flow to the feet. I checked the temp. of my soles after the run and they were 50 degrees, not sure what that means though, just interesting.
Better to be safe than sorry Dutchie, I personally can't see myself walking barefoot outside at -12, I have this mental block that keeps telling me to run to keep my feet warm. Glad to hear you are getting out though.Feeling not too bad Bob, hard to not break out in a run though. Another 1 km walk today at -12C with windchill with my dog. The slush is frozen today and made me want to run or at least walk faster just to keep the temp up in my feet. I don't think I will go lower than this temp range for my walks though, started to get that burning feeling in my toes at the end, that is my warning to head in or put on footwear.

Sole temp of 50 degrees, interesting. What are you using to check the temps, I am curious to find out what the temp of my soles are after a cold run. Last year after my -32 jaunt, the bottom of my soles were slightly damp from sweat and that was what was starting to freeze not my feet or skin. You've got me curious now and that can be dangerous, lol.
