They cancelled the hot chocolate run here and I think I'm going to have to make a chocolate destination run. <br />Re: sensitive skin and the wind chill. What I've done in the depths of winter for running and from when I used to have to wait for a bus as part of my commute is put on a slightly thicker but still sheer layer of cetaphil moisturizer. It's a protective barrier and one I can easily deal with when I come back indoors.
