or, Something I learned a long time ago.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Back in the late 70s there was a cold wave where I live. It was colder than it is now. I remember it was a -13 degrees that morning, with a wind chill of -75 degrees. It had snowed, and there was lots of snow on the ground..Anyway, I thought I knew what to do.
I would go out and jog a mile in the bitter cold.
So, I put on a whole lot of layers of clothes, and lots of underwear and sweaters and lots of extra protection. Why? Because I thought I knew, what to do.
And out I went, I was going to beat the cold. And it was cold. Very cold. So, I jogged a mile in the cold. Fortunately, I didn't slip in the snow..and I kept going. I was outside about 15 minutes and then I finished my mile run, and came in. I was totally proud of that one mile run..I thought I knew, but I knew nothing.
As I look back, I realize that was indeed one of the stupidest things I have ever done. Snow is the worst thing go run on, but I was lucky. I didn't slip or fall. Also, the body doesn't process that cold air very well, but I survived that without any consequences.
Fortunately, I really did learn something. I learned that it was not a good idea to go out and jog a mile in very cold weather on snow. So, for today, I am not going outside and jog a mile.
Thank You for reading this.......about something I learned a long time ago.
