Running was scheduled for Wed, Fri and Saturday this week.
Wed: I ran on Wed and it was flippin cold. 43 degrees with winds > 10mph. I wore cropped tights, a long sleeve technical shirt, a fleece vest (with elastic around the waist - very bad design), and a baseball cap.
My hands froze and so did my arms. The rest was ok. The odd thing is that I ran in colder weather last week (35 degrees) with a full fleece pullover and roasted. It was less windy that day, though.
Fri: I recovered from Thursday night. No run for you!
Sat: I ran my 3.5 mile loop. It was even colder at 24 degrees with winds at 17mph. The wind was in my face on the way out and absolutely took my breath away. I wore fleece pants, a long-sleeved technical shirt, a fleece pullover, gloves and a hat. If I'd had mittens instead, I would have been perfect - well, as perfect as one can be running in 24 degree weather. I am SO glad I don't live up north!
Note to self: buy those gloves with the mitten hoodie thingie.
I might have felt guilty for not running on Friday but I deserve huges amounts of kudos for getting out there on Saturday.
