It was also the coldest day in a very long time, with wind chills in the single digits. I love running in the winter, but my face does not. I can keep my body comfortable while on a run pretty easily, but I usually end up with a partially frozen face. I've tried face masks, but since I wear glasses I end up not being able to see from the steam from my breath. And I refuse to stick my finger in my eyes to wear contacts. All this could be solved if I could just grow a beard. I see these men (BF Barbado included) with all this warm and cozy hair on their faces and I get jealous of their genetics. Some day I hope to find something to keep my cheeks and nose warm on the coldest days, but until then I will turn super rosy and curse not being hairy.

I have a serious case of beard envy
Today was Veteran's Day, a holiday in which we celebrate the sacrifices of the men and women of the armed services by taking a day off from work. And it was glorious, in that I actually was able to sleep in for once. I essentially got paid to sleep.
