Winter Wardrobe Two for One

Hi!

Two very different running workouts for two very different days.

Yesterday:
Same outfit as the previous day (shorts, long sleeved wicking shirt, thin gloves) plus a hat this time. The weather was great and I was comfortable even though I had to stop for some potty breaks (Butler, not me!). I was even warm enough to push up the sleeves. It was 39 degrees Fahrenheit and 32 degrees with windchill.

Today:
Cold and windy! I had on my Under Armour running tights, long sleeved wicking shirt from the Lakefront Marathon, burgundy running jacket, thicker mittens and a hat. The first mile was a bit tough just remembering what winter running is all about and getting warmed up. After that, it wasn't bad at all. The temperature was 19 degrees Fahrenheit or 5 degrees with the windchill factored in.

Winter Running Wardrobe

Hi!

Every year when it starts to get cold again, I don't remember how to properly dress for various temperatures. This year is the same-old-same-old, although compared to Wisconsin it's stayed warmer later. So, I decided to start keeping track of my running wardrobe on the blog.

Tonight is was 35 degrees Fahrenheit with a "Feels Like" (factoring in windchill) temperature of 28 degrees. It was sort of windy. I wore shorts, my long sleeve wicking shirt from the St. Louis Marathon and thin gloves. I would have worn a hat, but I forgot it. I was chilly at first, but overall the apparel choices were good. I did get a bit of a brain freeze due to the lack of hat, but other than that it was fine.
