Preparing for todays run felt a lot like... gosh, getting ready for your wedding. Sooo many little issues to tend to... It occurs to me that it shouldnt be THIS difficult. I long for the days of throwing on shorts and a T and just heading out the door. This is the thought that inspired this post. One day (soon would be GrEaT!!) I will be sweating and wishing it wasnt so darn hot; so I thought it would be a good idea to document how complex dressing is in this land that God forgot. I doubt many of you run in freezing or negative temps as much as I do (and if you do, I am sorry!) so count your blessings now!
Phase 1- Injinji running socks, running tights, sports bra and wicking top.
Phase 2- cold weather jacket, smart wool socks and balaclava. (insert phone into jacket arm pocket) Strap on fuel belt- must be under top layer to keep the water from freezing during the run!
Phase 3-Cold weather gear running pants, Brooks running jacket, fleece hat, and finally my shoes! Insert earbuds before the hats, so as to avoid annoying cords swinging in your way...
Oh, and I should mention that hair really should be divided into pigtails and braided, because if not the friction from the balaclava will cause a narly rats nest in your hair!
See- I am not exaggerating! Craziness, right?? Now, arent you glad you live where you live and not here???
