Life in the Mountains: Snow & Cold so far

This is my life for the next few months: work, coffee, work, more coffee.

When I wake up in the morning it is usually around 10-15 degrees. I can run outside as long as it's not snowy or too icy. So I'm still figuring out how to train in the cold.

Despite training difficulties and learning a new job, life in Colorado is good.

The dogs are slowly getting used to the cold and now however most mornings they stand in the snow with one paw raised with a pained expression on their face. One extreme to the next they seem to say: pavement too hot or snow too cold.
Which is better: cold, I think.
