Long-distance view of Tortugas and the Organs Dr. K did double-duty shopping this morning (Target and Albertsons) so it was Willow and me on...

A hike with Becca is a great way to start the New Year.
I used to run faithfully until my right knee gave out in 2003 (geez...ten years ago now!). Non-runners often thought that I was "under-dressed" when I ran on cold days, but non-runners don't understand how much heat a runner generates. Nonetheless, when it got down to 20 degrees as you experienced this morning, I would wear athletic stretch leggins and at least a long-sleeved t-shirt, if not a sweatshirt. Even to a veteran like me, the runner in your image looks under-dressed! Brrr!
I ran for years, too, Scott, and I know what you mean about generating body heat. During most winter days I can wear shorts because my legs never get cold as long as my trunk is warm. On days that are particularly humid, both my knees get a little gimpy. I keep moving, though.
