Day 2,970: That thing about the River Styx ...

One of my favorite things to say in the winter is "When my momma dipped me in the River Styx she did so by the tips of my ears, because they're the only things that get cold."

It felt true this morning, running six miles on a day that was 20 degrees and only got up to 23 degrees by the time I came home.

I was fully bundled -- two technical T-shirts, my Marine Corps Marathon mock turtleneck and a windbreaker but I could feel the cold as I alternated wearing my fleece hat and gloves.

One of the nicest things about running early, in cold weather, on a Sunday morning, is that Piedmont Park is pretty empty, lol.

It was a nice way to start the day.
