I am now in full swing in preparation for the race in Antarctica on March 9th. I am running about 30 to 35 miles per week. I have found a great pair of socks made by Drymax that kept me warm during the recent polar vortex. I also wear a Gore-Tex running jacket and pants. Layering is the key and I use leggings and a long sleeve cold gear shirt underneath, not to mention a balaclava to keep my face and neck warm. Getting used to running in the cold is a challenge not only to find the right clothing, but I have been running in parking lots late at night so that I can best re-create the temperatures of the South Pole. This is supposed to be fun….Right?
