…your eyes freeze over on your morning long run

Oh, and your tackle shrivels to less than what your 5 year old son is packing…

…You get back from your run and can’t unlock the door because your hands don’t work.

…You get back from your run and your response to ‘how was your run?’ sounds like “muuhh raaa wwwas aah… cccccoll”

…the frozen soles of your shoes make you feel like you are running in clogs, your nose hairs and eyelashes stick together, your digital watch starts malfunctioning, your pecker gets hard but on the other end of the spectrum, your lips get so numb that you sound like you have had a stroke when you try to speak afterwards.

Did an (almost) full-moon run last night around 10:00. 5 degrees F. Only last about 45mins…best run I have had in a couple weeks!!!

You’re face goes so numb that when you spit it just dribbles onto your chin like an incontinent 90 yr old and freezes there…very attractive my wife says. I felt like a human labrador.

…you quietly suit up without waking up the wife & kids… while lacing up you realize the house is a bit cold…OMFG the furnace took a dump during the night and the water pipes are frozen… kinda sucked!

… when you put insulated foot beds into your Lake winter shoes, add a pair of foot warmers, cover the shoes with plastic bags, then a wool sock and finally Gore-tex show covers, and you think you’ll have warm feet in sub-freezing temps. But after an hour of riding, you get cold feet anyway.

…your wife is from the Peace River area of northern Alberta and *she *can’t believe you went for 10k in "that weather".

…you have icicles hanging from any facial hair you have. (beard, mustache, eye lashes, nose) It was a sunny 0 degrees F this morning when I left for an 8.5 mile run. My kids loved the ice all over my face when I got home.
