Cold, Very Cold

Second Snowball Series run, half marathon, starting at Marathon Sports, going east on Olive, then north on Creve Coeur Mill Rd, then out on Waterworks Road a ways, backtracking around a bit, then finally heading back. Was it cold? Um… yes. 6F with 30mph+ winds. Nasty. I wore 2 pair of pants, 2 shirts and 2 jackets, 2 pair of socks and 2 hats. I did take off my outer jacket after a while, and the camelback froze up during the run. But... I got through it. I'm guessing a lot of people cut the course short, and even without cutting it short, the course was .1 mile short according to the garmin. Wasn't tired at the end of the run, just glad to be done. Splits were between 10:40 and 13:06, with 4 miles being in the 10s, 5 in the 11s, 3 in the 12s, and 1 in the 13s where I walked quite a bit near the half way point.
