What could be more fun than frost bitten sinuses and noses? That blue/black look to the cheeks and nose is such a complexion enhancer.

Google frost-bite images. Just wow.

Any time one of these stories pops up, I remember Jim Fixx. Healthiest guy in the cemetery.

Anecdotal only, not a substantive fact.

Jim Fixx died of a heart attack while on a run in his 40s.

What you don't mention is that all of the males in his family died at young ages in their 40s from heart attacks. It was hereditary, not the running itself.

Not everyone dies in their 40s from running and to imply that, is disingenuous.

40 years ago Jim Fixx wrote The Complete Book of Running. Some of it is outdated but it’s still a great read.

I’ve been running for 22 years and still find his book worth reading.
