Ridiculously true #VortexRunningFacts to keep your sanity

I am so done with winter. I am tired of slogging it out through the snow, the ice and the uber cold. So I did a survey of all runners who run in this crazy weather. Well, actually, I just surveyed myself but I read all of your Twitter and Facebook posts sharing the same depressing views that I have about running in this vortex.

I compiled my mental thoughts into a series of #RunningVortexFacts. While they can’t warm up the temperatures, I hope that they warm up your mind with a bit of a chuckle.
