It's never too cold

It's been a little cool here in Boulder lately, with highs generally not topping freezing, and several 0 degree mornings. This has, naturally enough, led to a certain amount of complaining that "it's too cold to train."

I have never subscribed to that philosophy, being Northern-Minnesota born and bred. Our XC skiing races were never canceled until it was -29 degrees or below. Thus it bugs me a little bit when people try to say that it's too cold to train. It's never too cold to train.

On another, related note, I very much like this column in the NYT. It's called "Personal Best," and it often has very interesting topics. I will continue to post whenever I find something interesting on the site.
