31°F - Between two tech shirts, I wore a grocery bag (put my arm through the handles and laid the bag across my chest).  It worked great for heat!  Of course the shirt below it was soaking wet when I got home, but my chest was warm and my belly (where the bag didn't cover) was cold...

31°F and Snowing - windbreaker, and short sleeve tech T.  Maybe a little cold.  The wind breaker was nice for the wind (of course), but has no insulation... Maybe I'll stick with the two tech T's, even when I use my new (to me, got it at DI for $5) Adidas ClimaProof Wind thing...

24° and clear skies - Same as yesterday, but now I'm thinking weather.com isn't extremely accurate.  Today was a lot colder than yesterday.  Mostly it was no problem, but my fingers were quite a bit colder and I could tell just breathing that the air was colder.

30°F - same as yesterday - still seemed a bit cold for my hands - mostly my right...I might have to add another pair of gloves or wear my watch on the outside of my sleeves instead of leaving my wrists exposed.

40ºF - Same as yesterday - removed beanie quickly and sweat a bit... 

7.5 59:30.6 155/168 - On a dark and drizzly morning...at the local high school track.  I considered doing a few 1/2 mile intervals but my right knee was quite tight, so I just tried to stay under an 8:00 pace on the track.

37°F - Windbreaker, 2 tech Ts...  A little warm, but with the rain, I think I would have been cold without the windbreaker. 

7.25 58:43.9 152 - up the canyon 2 and back, then 1.6 and back.

XX°F - a little cool, probably around 30°F - I could see my breath well enough, but didn't notice any ice in the puddles like yesterday.  Same gear, works well.

Don't know the temp, but it was raining so I wore an extra layer on my legs to keep the water off.  By the time I got to Fresh Values, I was too hot, so I took one pair of pants off and my hat...  Beautiful day in the Rain!!! 

7.2 1:00:05 143 Up the canyon and back a couple times, almost.

30°F and Snowing - Same apparel as always.  If every winter day could be like today, I would have no problem running through the year.  Once the flakes became more flake-like and less like eye-searching little pellets, it was very enjoyable!  The little hill up 1st Dam (and down from it) were cause for slowing, but it wasn't bad.

3ºF - Windbreaker, fleece vest,  long and short sleeved T-shirts, long johns and wind-breaking pants, beanie, gloves...  This was like blind trail running.  I could see the surface of the snow/slush/road, but rarely was it indicative of the where my feet would stop moving down...

10.51 1:18:45 162/178 - Plain City with my new toy, Garmin 405!

 Lap Time Dist. Pace

-1ºF - Same as yesterday, but the sun came up while I was running.  It was nice to run without a headlamp and see the crisp, freezing world awake...  My eyelashes and cheeks were covered with frost by the time I was done. 

8.01 1:07:15 147/159 LRTH, 1st Dam, 6E 4N and back.

22ºF - Same as yesterday, without the fleece vest.  Afternoon run made for nicer temperatures and light!  I saw the sunset as I ran by the university. 

16.01 2:12:10 158/173 To TOU 17, back to 24, skip straight to 26.2 and home. 

8.03 1:07:45 153/166 to Zanavou

18°F - WB, 2Tt (Tech tees), WB pants, longjohns, gloves, hat.  Snow covered roads and snow plows made for some entertainment in the pre-dawn darkness.

I crossed the 2000 mile mark this morning!  November was also my 3rd biggest month for miles! 

8.25 1:07:15 154/168 - Green Canyon by way of 1600 East, I think

-10ºF - a bit chilly.  WB, 2T, fleece vest, long john pants, WB pants, gloves and balaclava.

I was thinking it would be about the same as yesterday (18ºF) since there wasn't much cloud cover either night.  I was way off - I'm glad I check the weather before I left.  When I got to the mouth of the canyon, the wind was so cold, I just turned and went up to the ranger station.  I was so happy to have a Garmin - normally I would just go where I know the distances so I could keep track of way too much info.  Ahh, the freedom of being able to go wherever I want and still have all the info!  I love my new b-day toy!
