Sometimes the steering wheel of the car is soooo cold in the winter my fingers go white. Then it feels really odd driving the car with deadened fingers!!!

Do they go very red and painful when they "come back to life"? I used to get really cold after long runs. Also very tired and shaky. I used to go have a short nap wrapped in the duvet. I guess it's how the body deals with the stress of the long run and associated energy depletion! Long races did the same, no more sadly...
