26 degrees

that was the temp when i went outside for a jog last night. but it wasn't actually that cold because the wind was calm, and it felt more like 40s. and i felt too warm and heavy with my gear:

  • head: fleece balaclava - the p.i. microsensor would have sufficed
  • body: kombi baselayer + nike thermafit jersey + champion light jacket
  • legs: nike compression tights + cheap workout nylon pants
  • socks: gator icelandic winter socks - just arrived so i tested it
  • hands: p.i. lobster gloves with hand warmers inside - felt too warm
i still have to wait for a really bad/cold weather condition where i have to go out, run the first mile, then decide that it's not worth it - and head back home.

i created this post to serve as a reminder: no matter what the condition is - just go out and run!

and to my bike buddies, this applies as well - just go out and ride!

there is no such thing as a bad weather for a run (or a ride), only a wrong choice of gear for that always-perfect weather for a nice run (or a ride) outside.
