I spent the New Year in Vermont doing more cross country skiing than running.  Still, the cold months of running ahead have been on my mind.   This week, back in Brooklyn and back to the grind, I was up and out for some chilly morning runs. Its that time of year when getting out the door takes a little longer and for the first mile or so you’re sure you’re under dressed.  You think about turning around.  But then your body warms up, and  you’re cruising through the almost empty park, and it all seems perfect.

If you’re wondering whether you should get out and run in the cold this weekend, I think this video of Anton Krupicka running through the Colorado winter will help you make up your mind.
