Anyhow I had this experience (see above thread description) a few times, when I was about 30 years of age and ran up to 12 miles in the freezing cold of January in Michigan. Today I started getting pessimistic about my ability and energy to get out in what feels like 14 degrees weather but I assured myself that if I remained stagnant all winter I would gain unacceptable weight. So I got out and jogged and meditated awhile in the snowing weather. I surprised myself by jogging up a steep hill at the end and feeling with delight the soft snow beneath my 🥾 boots, making my last stretch more delightful then what at times, in the summer, seemed like drudgery in the heat.
