There's a Coldest Day in Every Year

As you may recall, I'm training for a half marathon. In my lovely new hometown, I do not have a gym membership, so I run outside. The weather has decided to take a nasty turn from Tuesday's and Wednesday's lovely 72 degrees to a brisk 13 today. 60 degree difference in less than a week? Yeah, apparently that's the norm here. So for my run I wore layers, lots and lots of layers. My new running attire consists of the following:

• snowboarding socks
• shoes
• long underwear bottoms
• fleece pants
• a short-sleeved tech top
• a fleece top
• soft-shell
• puffy vest
• bandanna on my head (I left all my hats in my former state of residence. What was I thinking?)
• mittens
• my softshell's hood

If you counted four layers on top, you counted right. And, in my very puffy state, I had an extremely enjoyable run.
