Seeing is Believing

And I believe I can not see through the ice on my glasses.

 

The cold north wind made today's run very difficult in terms of comfort.  I was warm enough with my face mask and multiple layers of clothing but unfortunately with each breath I put another layer of ice onto my glasses.  I could not see with them on and I can not see with them off.  I seem to forget this little fun fact at the beginning of each winter and I was reminded again.

 

So the workout was a real chore and after six miles I estimated that the marginal cost of each mile was approaching the marginal benefit as it was taking me a long time to run each three mile loop.  Next time I think I'll layer the nose up with Vaseline and have the mask just cover my mouth.

 

 

6 miles @ 9:15 pace.
