Turkey Run

Happy Thanksgiving!

Weather has been colder than normal here in Nothern Indiana this year.

So, this morning when heading out for my run I dressed in layers. 4 layers on top, 2 layers on bottom. 

The top consisted of the following layers:

Base layer being tight tech gear to wick away moisture from the skin.

Next layer was a thicker climawarm long sleeved shirt. 

Next layer was a fleece jacket with a hoodie.

Last layer was a wind breaker.

The wind breaker is a must. Even a gentle breeze in the winter can cut right to your core.

While I was comfortable I did notice that it would have been nice to have a string in the hoodie to tight it to the head so the wind can't just blow it off. My face, especially the nose and cheeks were cold. So something covering the face would be nice.

Another thought is that running in the winter just feels more difficult. Maybe it is carrying all the extra layers. I only ran 4 miles today but my body was telling me it ran more like a 10K. 

While running wasn't so bad in the cold, it was the extra time it took to gear up and then ungrearing that seemed bothersome.
