A few years ago when we had some intensely cold weather, I ran for about an hour and my drink froze even though it had salt and sugar in and was being jiggled about all the time. Somehow couldn't persuade myself to get out in it today, though.

It's as good as putting them in the spin dryer and they dry much quicker. You can try to get extra towels if necessary.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2016 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Happy running :-)
