I can't say that 54 degrees--if dressed properly--would feel quite that cold to me. I do know that I need to maintain a pretty good clip when it's cold; otherwise I don't work up enough body heat to stay warm. Have you ever talked to a doc about whether you have a circulation problem or some other issue that might make it hard for you to stay warm? I hate to keep beating this particular drum, but hypothyroidism can make you cold intolerant. Yet another reason to make sure you're taking your meds.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
