    I'm a 42 yr old who ran a hilly 22 miler today in 16 degree weather as a training run for an upcoming 50 mile attempt. Not that any of you young studs out there would give a shit, but my legs feel like crap. I'm doing my best to drown the pain (8 Yuenglings and counting, thank you) but the anasteshia (sp?) has yet to take effect.

    I guess the question of this thread is to see if anyone else has done some stupid runs in obscene weather, either hot or cold. The one that comes to mind for me was a 8 mile trail some years back at 4 degrees (-10 degrees wind chill).

    We could give better advice if we knew what "legs feel like crap" meant.

    I once ran a 13 miler, which was no feat, but was totally unprepared for the weather. It was butt cold outside and my thin gloves weren't getting it done. My hands got so bad I had to stop in the middle of a trail and put them aside my groin area, which was the warmest part of me at the time. I was never happier to be finished with a run when I got back home.

    Had what felt like frostbite on my wee-wee. Boy did that hurt after I stopped running. I'll always stick a sock on it if I run in the cold now.

    A traditional X-mas run on x-mas eve night... its just a slow 6 miles... but the temp was -20 degrees, with a windchill of -35 degrees. my nostril hairs froze the first 2 minutes, my facial hair froze about 20 minutes into it... became ice 30 minutes into it. and when the run was coming to a close... my eye lashes/lids were starting to freeze over... another 10 minutes in that stuff could have been very very bad. I have never been that cold; and concerned for myself, in a run in my life. But it is tradition... just once a year at midnight.
