I hope he's found safe and sound, but I have a feeling that they're going to find this gentleman in the brush at the bottom of an icy hill, probably having succumbed to hypothermia. They're searching a ravine that I hike regularly. If the trails around my neighbourhood are any indication, he would have been running on two inch thick ice on the trails, dodging fallen trees and branches.

It may not be the case with this man, but it reminds me of something that concerns me: I see many runners around here that wear minimal clothing, even on cold days, assuming that their run is going to be uneventful. If you're one of them, please dress for an unexpected delay in mobility. Going for an hour run should be thought of in the same terms as going for an hour long hike. Expect the unexpected and stay safe and sound.
