Tdrake/Greenr, you inspired me


Jan 29, 2021, 1:00 PM

I sucked it up and went outside this morning. The real feel was 9 degrees. I could only do 4.5 and had to come back. I couldn't have been out there for another 8-10 minutes, my face was numb, fingers were hurting, sidewalks were mostly hard pack snow, so I ran as much as I could on streets in town.

20 is typically my cutoff with snow and ice on ground as it slows you down so much. I think it will stay that way. :)

Back to treadmill tomorrow. That was brutal.

I don't run when it's below freezing.


Jan 29, 2021, 1:02 PM

Which is really a non-factor.

when I ran and dropping as the sun went down. I was fine in a LS Patagucci with a light jacket and shorts. 9 degrees is more along the lines of tights, LS shirt, hoodie, hot hands, mobile fire pit, and bourbon in the water bottle.

Good for you though, impressive.

Anything below 50 is sleeves, pants, hat, and gloves for me.***

youngest took my gloves last night about 3 miles in.

I hate running in pants. I bought two pair this year to try and still haven't tried them. I'll just let my legs go numb.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I may need to start doing that. I wear the same thing no


Jan 29, 2021, 1:13 PM [ in reply to You are a better man than me. It was 40 here yesterday ]

matter what, and 45 is my limit. And at 45 there can't be any wind. This year, there have always been 3 days out of 7 that fit that requirement, but that is not always the case.

is the absolute best for an additional layer running that helps with wind.

I think I got mine for $50 and I wear it all the time, had it for 4-5 years probably.

Seems very good. Thanks. And it says Patagonia on it.***

are all Patagonia and I've kept most of it for 5-6 years with weekly use. I just buy the ugly colors on sale when everyone else has passed over them.

I cannot find warm gloves.


Jan 29, 2021, 1:15 PM [ in reply to You are a better man than me. It was 40 here yesterday ]

I have everything else good and covered. But even for skiing, I cannot find anything that keeps my hands warm

The gloves I use now skiing have a zipper pocket on top that holds a hot hands. That was somewhat a game changer for me skiing, but my hands still get cold.

Running I wear some craft gloves that have the pullover Mitten cover. Love them and would be good in the South too.

I like those. I just wear some old Nike ones and they

suck but they are better than nothing.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

that reflecting mitten will fold back under the top too.


Jan 29, 2021, 1:18 PM

so you dont have to use that mitten, it will hide itself.

coated his face in vaseline when he ran to keep his face from freezing.
