Boy, had I forgotten how it feels!

I was pleasantly surprised to see Bruce at Barton Springs this morning for our usual Monday 10 miler. I figured with ACL music festival, out of town travels, injuries and other, I'd be the sole person out there.
We did a 10 mile run, which I complemented beforehand with a Karma loop, so 11.2 in all.

We went and soaked in Barton Springs, but I only lasted 10 minutes. The water was fine getting in to, it's the air this morning that was chilly 57F (13.8C), so I started shivering and decided I'd had enough. Got even colder when I got out to the point that I blasted my heater in my car as hot as it would go for most of the drive home. Felt good to have hot air reheating my fingers! Wow, it'd sure been a long long time since I've felt that cold after a run!

Definitely time to switch to long sleeve t-shirts or maybe even a sweatshirt to throw on after soaking! (gloves may not be a bad idea eiter)
