The colder the better seems to be my motto this winter.  Tonight the temperature is 15 with a wind chill of 3 and I was pumped to get out and run.  For one, I am just happy to be able to run again, but the cold also adds an extra layer of excitement and adventure.  I was out for 51:30 and covered about 6.25 miles, making that my longest run in almost 3 months. 

Just thought I would share how I outfitted myself for the cold, from top to bottom.  I wore a fleece hat over a ski mask that has holes for my eyes.  I had on a short sleeve shirt, a mock turtleneck half zip long sleeve shirt and a light running jacket.  One pair of super warm gloves, so warm in fact that I actually ran for 10 minutes in the middle of the run without them.  On my legs, I wore a pair of non-insulated tights.  On my feet, just one pair of normal low cut running socks and my shoes.  I will say that my legs were a little frozen when I got back but I did not really notice during the run.  Other than that I was dressed just right.
