Running in the cold, and trying some of the POSE philosophy.

So with this weekend being a chilly 27 degrees, I thought this would be a good opportunity to figure out "how to dress" for the cold weather. I did a quick google to find some charts on what people recommended, and decided on this:

Head: Perry the Platypus hat, Sunglasses (snow is BRIGHT), and headphones for music.
Body: Underarmor (though it was generic, not UnderArmor brand), T-shirt, Polar Fleece and Shell.
Legs: Underarmor (again, generic.. And sounds much better than "running tights"), running pants.
Feet: Smartwool Toe Socks, Vibram Five Fingers Bikila

I also had a bandana around my neck - that I could pull up to breath through if needed. I should have had my wife take a picture of me in my running get-up for the cold. I will do so next time! (I looked goofy.)

Perfect Running Weather!!! Whether my Running technology works or not!

This is a Repost from my Wordpress Blog.

This unseasonable weather - is AWESOME!!!! Normally I am unable to run whenever we get "perfect running weather" - so I am enjoying it even more! All those days this year where the sun was shining, are being made up for - NOW! And I love it. Last night the timing was going to be tight - Our kids had "Family Dodge Ball Night" (Horace Mann does some of the absolute coolest things for their kids,) and it was Voting Day, so I couldnt' do a nice leisurely long run in the 68 degree (IN NOVEMBER!!!!) temperatures. I decided that the "run for the ride" was the way to go - so I headed out toward my wife's work.
