It's never too cold for a good run. Okay, maybe when the temperatures dip below zero and it starts to get dangerous, but running in chilly weather can actually be quite exhilarating. At least until you can't feel your fingers anymore.

That happened to me on Saturday morning, but it was well worth it. I ran in the annual "Truffle Shuffle" 5K at Johnson County Community College. Now in it's 8th year, the run benefits the Jana E. Pinker Memorial Foundation, which funds cancer research, the performing arts and scholarships.

Temperatures were in the 20's and snow was blowing around campus, but close to 200 hardy souls came out for the run. I wore gloves, but several of my fingers were numb by the end of the race. Of course, I quickly forgot about that as I downed several delicious chocolate truffles from Andre's. The sweet treats are reason alone to come out to this event next year. In all, more than $3,000 was raised for the Pinker Foundation. That will warm anyone's heart on a cold day.
