The weather is lightening up a bit. Temperature is up to -24C from yesterday’s low of -28. With windchill, yesterday was -40. Today, there is very little wind.
And the forecast looks great. By Saturday, our weather will be something more …humane.
If you run on a treadmill, I think you are equally nuts!
DANG, I hate those things. No wonder they call them “dreadmills”. I just about went kookoo in the 90 minutes I spent on one this afternoon.
Thank God it’s supposed to warm up to -20C tomorrow!
Mother Nature won today. I am going to do my 90 minute run on the treadmill at my gym instead of braving the elements to get home.
-40 is just too cold. I wore my gear to work this morning and that wind was blowing right through my polar tech pants like a knife. It’s just not worth the risk to run 9+ miles in that kind of cold.
So, my limit seems to be -35. After that, I pull the plug on running outdoors.
Current temperature in Edmonton without windchill is -28C/-18F. With windchill, it is -40C/-40F.
I did a little video up for CRN. Go take a look.
