Ice Crystals Forming

It's mid October, it's Edmonton, it's cold!!   Good thing I love training outdoors when it is cold.  Everything around just seems calmer and quiter.

I headed out to the Millwoods football field this evening for a workout.  I took my 8lb medicine ball and my new 600g turbo javelin.  Now in October in Edmonton it is dark by about 730pm.  Since I got to the field around 8 I was happy to see the peewee football teams on the field and the lights shining bright.  I jogged around the field and went into the endzone to throw the medicine ball around.  I was planning on doing a circuit workout, but the temptation of throwing around my turbo jav was too much to resist.  I spent about 20 minutes tossing around the javelin in the endzone before the players started to head off the field.  Then the groundskeeper turned the lights off.  Now what???  It's dark, it's empty, and it's quiet.  Perfect time to throw.  Throwing down the sidelines with only the parking lot lights to guide me.  As it got later in the night running between throws, ice crystals started to form on the turf as the temperature got lower and lower. 

It has been a long time since an outdoor workout and I have missed it.  Getting ready for a long winter of indoor training, gotta get outside while I still can.
