Jogging
Winter
joggers
prepare
for
cold
toes
By Kelly Laughlin
Of The Print
Jogging in sub-freezing tem­
peratures, to most, may be
termed as temporary insanity.
But to the pensive health en­
thusiast, what the thermometer
states should not interfere with
an exercise program.
For me, a good amount of
contemplation had to be ex­
perienced before high-stepping
it into one of Oregon’s worst
winters in years. I must have
stood before our living room
window at least 20 minutes
before suiting up.
If a jogger is as devoted to
the sport as this nameless
runner, he will have to take
some extra precautions in
this present chilly weather.
Warm sweater and sweat
pants are a must along with
2 or 3 pairs of socks to
keep the jogger from suc­
cumbing to “joggers cold
toe.”
STUDENTS!
Unaware of the proper attire
to wear under the conditions, I
put on two shirts, the usual un­
dergarments and a sweatsuit
(not recommended by most
running experts). I guess now
that I’m somewhat of a
maschocist because the experts
do recommend wearing a cap
and gloves, which I did not;
But at last the living room door
was opened and as naive as I
was, I foolishly rushed out.
(The following symptoms may
not occur if you follow the ex­
perts’ directions.)

Remaining exposed, my]
was not so lucky. The bifl
wind had no sympathy,- an
gave a tendency to lock]
mouth shut. Resorting to]
nose for respiration was to j
avail. Whether I breat]
through my mouth or nose]
lungs froze regardless. 1tn
felt the wind etching at my |
like a dull razor.
