OGDEN — With the temperature a frigid 29 degrees and a wind chill that made it seem 10 degrees colder, Jyl London took special precautions Saturday morning as she prepared for a 5K run.

The West Haven resident tucked hand warmers into the scarf-end pockets of her plush polar bear hat/scarf. She wore double-layer short shorts, and she chose her polka-dot bikini top because it had a tiny bit of extra bulk built into its lining.

“I’m not a cold-weather person,” London said. “And I don’t think I have ever run in a swimsuit.”
