Run Dec 19th - Acclimate to cold temperatures

31 degrees Fahrenheit, my approach.

1. Start slow.

2. Try to maintain steady state breathing (feels easy to run and not breathing heavy)

3. Cover your mouth at the beginning - to prevent your lungs from burning.

4. As the temperatures drop be consistent and keep getting out there.

5. As temps get colder - cover up and watch for frostbite.

I've been running outside in cold weather for over 15-20 years. Today I am not affected by the cold and don't have to cover my face until the temp is below 19 Degree Fahrenheit.

Define Acclimate: Merriam -Webster "to adjust or adapt to a new temperature, climate, environment, or situation: to become acclimated"
