Cold is in the gloves of the beholder

I have a reputation for overdressing in all conditions. There we were at the track yesterday at Spackenkill High School -- a relatively mild morning for mid-March.

One of our loyal men's distance athletes, currently on the sidelines due to a fluke injury/accident, was along to help out and be my "assistant coach" for the day (and, perhaps, the season). He no longer makes fun of my overdressing. He commented at "how much colder" it is when you are standing around and not blasting out intervals at a breakneck speed. No kidding, bro.
