-13F (feels like -25F): Got up a bit late and traffic, both on the street and the sidewalk were packed. Got to get up earlier. Having a terrible time with my electronic devices - yesterday my iPod Nano stopped halfway and today so did my Nike+ Sportsband, so just guessing on the time. Might have to do it the old fashioned way with a watch. SMILE. Not sure why the weather channel said my -19F felt like -25F. I didn't feel any wind but then again, maybe I wasn't feeling anything at those temps.

Wore my pollution mask today and that definitely made breathing a bit more labored but it will be needed this winter. Ulaanbaatar is considered the most polluted capital city in the world in winter because of all the coal people burn in their homes for heat. A lot of smog and soot.

And wore my new shoes. Definitely felt more stiff than my old ones. Will try to rotate them from now on to get more life out of them. There was another light dusting of snow this morning, making traction a little dicey. Have to be careful.

    It was in the 50s here this morning. Not sure I could make it out the door if it was -13 out regardless of whether it felt like -25 or -13. Great determination Jim. Maybe your devices are too cold to work.

    I kind of got stuck on your first phrase. -13 feels like -25. Can't imagine why your Ipod might have stopped working! -- and then you have to wear a pollution mask on top of it all! YOU, my friend, are a die-hard!

    Nice job. Can't feature running in a mask. That's tough stuff you're made of!

    How can you run when it's that cold? I can't even THINK when it's below 30! Great job Jim!
