Who would have thought? A trip back east from
sunny So Cal to Washington D.C. And wham! A snow storm and the coldest day of
the year.

| Frozen Creek - Whitehaven Trail |
I sucked it up for the first few days, snow running in 14 degrees
along the Whitehaven trail and the streets of D.C. Made it to the National Cathedral, down to the C&O
canal, and then to the frozen Potomac River. Icicles, bone chilling wind, black ice. Even a stop by my old stomping grounds, the Russell Senate Office Building, where I worked as an intern for Sen. Ted Kennedy (many years ago). What more could one ask for?

Turns out the forecast for tomorrow is 0 degrees.
I’ve never run in 0. But I’m going to give it a go. A pair of sweats for my
scrawny legs, compression socks and shorts. A higher pitched voice. I’m in.
I just hope I can
breathe in 0 degrees. TBD.

You can do it! Think of it as free cryotherapy ;)
Well, I made it through the coldest day on record in DC. This morning was 9 degrees with wind chill below zero. I got in an hour on the snow and actually had a great run! Next up? Back to So Cal!
