Get ready to freeze your behind off with 4 Feet Running! This week:
- Nik and Dan go for a staggeringly cold 3-miler in Providence (the ritzy part, not the crappy part)
- They discuss Yak Traks, which is appropriate because there's thick ice and snow everywhere
- Dan's got two great new coaches, but his trick knee is acting up again
- Nik does the Core Performance technique but still can't remember the guy's last name
- They wonder why there are multiple words for "stretching" in the fitness world
- Special Guest Star: Lewis from Starbucks, when Nik and Dan warm up with a nice hot mocha
- They take the plunge and actually set up Buckeye Outdoors accounts ... for their dogs
- Great feedback-o-rama from lots of listeners

Dan tries to keep a big smile on his face as he runs in the freezing cold past a cemetery.
You can tell Nik is running in a posh neighborhood because this house has lion statues on the front porch.
These stickers are stuck to the side of a Starbucks drive-thru in Seekonk, Mass., right outside Providence. The bottom sticker is the one Nik and Dan were giggling about, featuring something punching a horse in the mouth with a butterfly on its ass.
