2011-12-14 - Chill Out!

On the first cold days of winter you will find it easier to get out the door if you over-dress a bit. Start with a short loop where you can drop a layer once you feel out the weather.  After the loop, continue your winter runs into the wind, not fun, but knowing that at anytime you can turn your back to the weather and have a more comfortable run home can give the motivation to stick it out. Yes, many days we will just want to skip the winter run... but as always, you will be happy that you ran so don't think about it, just get out the door!

Must have winter run items:

Base Layer: A wicking base layer. A close fitting layer keeps out the draft and lets your body heat push the moisture away from you.
Balaclava: It keeps the wind off your ears and neck, making a huge difference in comfort.
Mittens: Often, gloves just don't cut it, you can always take off the mittens and hold them if you get too warm.
 

Stop into Running Fit, they'll dress you for success!

Run warm,
