Day 24: 1.64mi, 14:00, Hoboken NJ

I had a very active day today- gym, volleyball, and my coldest run of the year!  16 degrees with a windchill of -1.  I was actually feeling good until my facemask started chafing my neck and I got the sudden urge to pee.  Ended up cutting the run short but if you're dressed correctly, weather doesn't matter.

Got two pairs of trail shoes in the mail today from steepandcheap.com, the great gear website that sells one outdoor item at a time till it's sold out.  Their partner websites whiskeymilitia.com (clothing) and chainlove.com (bike gear) are good to check on too and the main site has an iphone app.  These Saucony's look like high tops but they're actually pretty light and have big traction.  I plan on using them if there's any snow to contend with either on the trail or the road (a necessary incurance policy for my streak!).  For a measly $32, how could I not have a pair of snow running shoes?  The second pair is the original New Balance Minimus Trail, the most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn.  Great for cross-country type courses, not great for bombing down mountains or more technical trails.  They were perfect for Morris Parks Association run last year which took place on a farm.  These were a nice deal as well, just $54.
