I've been wondering lately what other runners thoughts were on outdoor running in chilly temps... <br />When I lived in Virginia, I used to run when it was 15-20 degrees outside. I was a bit intimidated at first, but, you're right, it's all about dressing for the weather. As long as I managed to cover most of my normally-exposed skin, my runs went well. That usually included gloves, a warm beanie, capri pants (definitely a good length for cold weather...I have a really hard time running in pants), and a fleece vest. I find a vest keeps the core at a regular temp. The hat is also an excellent addition as you lose most heat through your head.<br />Now, Cali doesn't usually have weather that is too cold. The only problem here is when there is a good combo of rain and wind. Again, the vest works wonders as does a cap to keep the rain from pelting you in the eyeballs... ;-)<br /><br />Merry Christmas. :-)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752544536247854441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-396729185992615882009-12-20T09:01:49.544-05:002009-12-20T09:01:49.544-05:00I think a wonderful motivation to help push you th...I think a wonderful motivation to help push you through those final miles of a long, cold run would be the thought of something hot and fresh out of the Easy Bake Oven.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756185658689331664noreply@blogger.com
