One more item re: Winterfest 5k, plus more fun in the cold

One item I forgot re: yesterday's 5k - in response to the question "How cold was it?", my best answer/example is the fact that breathing through my mouth during warmup and the race was a problem, due to the fact that my tongue kept going numb...
Today I decided to do a nice and easy 3 mile recovery run at about 9:00 pace. Ended up running slightly more than 3 miles, with fairly even splits. In a repeat of yesterday's weather, it was -7.5F when I left the house, with about 7MPH wind, for a lovely wind chill of -22F/-30C. I bundled up a bit more than yesterday, which kept me warmer, but certainly forced me to run slower. Running gear this morning was as follows:

• On the bottom half of my body:
  
• 2 pairs of wool blend running/hiking socks
• Brooks Axiom trainers
• Silk base layer
• Under Armour tights
• Running tights
• Patagonia wind tights
• On the top half of my body:
• Silk base layer
• Under Armour wicking top
• 500 Festival technical shirt
• Heavy weight wicking shirt
• Cycling windbreaker
• Thinsulate gloves
• Thinsulate mittens
• Neoprene/fleece face mask
• Fleece ear band
• Wicking skullcap
• Running hat

I had a great time on the run - the only problems I had was the aforementioned lack of speed due to all the layers, and the fact that by the time I got home, my face mask was frozen stiff, my glasses were completely iced over, and there was so much ice on my eyelids and eyelashes that when I got inside and started to warm up, I initially thought I was crying from all the icemelt running down my face. All in all, I had a blast!
