Sweaty Sunday - 8 miles

This week’s long run was 8 miles in 28 degree temps and lingering snow and ice. My outfit isn’t much different from last week. I did swap out the skirt/leggings for proper running pants and different gloves. (Oh, and I got new shoes!)


I get really hot when I run, so it’s got to be pretty damn cold before I’ll wear gloves. Even then, I wear the thinnest, cheapest, most synthetic gloves I can find. If it had been sunny today, I would have been holding my gloves by the end of the run. Somehow, I find clutching the gloves to be a happy medium between wearing them and stuffing them in my pocket.


The biggest downside to wearing gloves (besides sweaty hands), is the inability to use a touch screen. It's such a pain to remove my gloves to scroll through my ipod nano. Instead, I just use my nose.
