MIA - Moving and Running in a Polar Vortex

Okay so we haven't had snow, but seriously, I live in Georgia someone needs to tell Mother Nature to pay the heating bill.  This is getting ridiculous and stretching the limits of my winter running wardrobe.  I would not want to be the tights that had to make a third run this week.  I only have 3 pairs of full tights and 7 days of running.  you do the math when we don't break 30 degrees. So no I haven't not been blogging, but yes, layered up like the Pillsbury Doughboy, I have been running. 

This is actually the screenshot from my phone...really what does 0 feel like?  Cold, too cold for GEORGIA!  What I have discovered is my wardrobe was not prepared for a polar vortex.  I was actually running with my headband over my nose and mouth last week.  It is really fashion forward I recommend it.  Especially if yours is a tasteful burgundy tartan design in fleece.

My New Year's Goal was to run everyday unless I am sick or injured.  So far I have not been sick or injured, so I run.  As for not blogging, we are in the middle of the move that was driven by the two robberies we have experienced in 3 months.  I am big into karmic signs and that seemed like a big one.  We have a found a new place and we are excited.  Of course excited has to be tempered with all the work involved in moving. It will all be over next weekend.  We are taking Friday off to move and the movers are coming Saturday.  The best part about our new neighborhood is there is an entrance to Silver Comet running trail right at the corner of our neighborhood.  This happens to be our favorite place to run.

I promise once the move is over I will be back at more regular blogging, even if my hands still have Polar Vortex frostbite.  For all my friends who run in Canada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, etc. no offense, but you won't see me visiting your beautiful area until Spring.  By the way as a little tease today was beautiful, sunny and 55, just had to enjoy with a 5 miler and light clothing that actually allowed a normal range of motion.  Tuesday back in the teens and we have the threat of an ice storm, really?

How are you keeping warm?  If you are normally in the sunny south does your running wardrobe hold out?
