This week in frozen faces: Canadian runners freeze their beards

Runners, you ran hard these past seven days. In winter, it can be hard to dress up and get out there in the snow, but you did. Early last week, we asked you to send us photos of your frozen faces using the hashtags #CanadianRunning and #CanadaRunsWinter. You did not fail us. Several readers sent in photos of their frozen beards, eyelashes and masks. We even got a frozen dog. We got pictures from all over Canada and got a feel for the weather all over the country. Runners, here are the best of your frozen faces over the past week. Keep on sending ’em in!

Counted up my miles for January and was happy to have run 111 miles! While I’m slowly building up mileage for my first marathon, I wanted to spend a lot of time in January getting outside and exploring some beautiful places just for the fun of it. My heart is happy that I did #optoutside #instarunners #everytrailconnects #mecnation #mec #liveforsnow #sisugirls #runnerland #livecourageously #likeagirl #seemeRLAG #andshesdopetoo #pnw #pnwonderland #pacificnorthwest #herPNWlife #wanderlust #womanup2016 #neverstopexploring #westcoastbestcoast #rei1440project #explorethroughrunning #mileschangeyou #marathontraining #womensrunningcommunity #runshots #runitfast #epictrailrunning #trailchix #canadianrunning

Turns out that running in Banff is much harder than running in Saskatoon! Elevation: 1400 metres! #banff #running #Canada #Alberta #canadianrunning ps thanks to @canadianrunning for the idea!
