Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just started running in April and haven’t really needed to purchase anything other than shoes. Until now. All I’ve got to run in right now is one pair of tights, a pair of gloves from a RAM race, and a cheap hot pink knit hat I picked up at Target. I’ve been trying to figure out what else to invest in and your post helped tremendously!

Hey, this is great, I’ve been forwarding it to all my friends.

I have to confess, it makes me feel better about running in Philly in the winter because we only need two layers on top and our path is rarely covered in snow.

This year, I decided to try one of those thermal base layers which I’m liking. Mine is made by Mizuno and its obscenely tight but I guess that’s the idea – keeps the heat in and wicks the moisture away.

I’m also a fan of anything the company Sporthill produces. http://www.milemarkersports.com/
The company was started by running partners of a friend of mine and their winter pants are the best I have found.

Next time I feel bad about running in 35 degrees, I’ll be thinking of you braving those sub-zero Chicago temperatures and feeling like I live in Texas.

Happy Running!

you are a badass!

i take back everything i’ve ever said in reference to your supposed complaining about how cold it is and now see it as it truly is:
bragging rather than bitching.

you are an inspiration (not enough to actually…uh…inspire me to get out there, but an inspiration nonetheless).

go! go! go! aunt laura!
