A Cold Day

Last week was a challenge for many people in the United States.  Snow, cold weather, disruptions for travel and last-minute Christmas shopping.

Even I had challenges.  I had some last-minute shopping to do, and the temperature was 5 degrees Fahrenheit. My challenge was to walk or not to walk in the frigid weather

People always ask me do I walk in cold weather and my answer is always I am good to walk with five degrees and the sun.  Well, that day it was five degrees, and the sun was shining. Walking it was.

I layered up and I had a covid face mask on when I started the walk.  The face mask makes the difference. The only issue is you have to change the mask every ten minutes as it gets soaked.

Two miles to the store walking.  I did the shopping and headed back home.  The temperature had risen to nine degrees, and it was noticeable. The only issue I had with the walk was my feet got cold.  The cold pavement just sucked the heat from my feet. Last post for the year. Have a great new year and keep on walking
