Cold weather running gear

Missing in pic: Gloves. 

Oops. Watch that little hand!

Too late. 

new challenge starts jan 20

New winner

Linda B brings home the victory! A shock to all of us, perhaps mostly to herself. 

And Heidi, I see you as a worthy champion too. Next challenge will be for 100 km. I urge you all to join thomas's challenge for 1000 kms in 2009, that way, no kilometer is run in vain. Just mail me at emi@lovegun.net and I'll forward you!

The great thing about 100 monkeys (as thomas's challenge is called) is that every single kilometer that you've run since Jan 2 will count!

Do this for me. For us.

Just this once, bring a cellphone on your next run and snap a picture of your running grounds. I'm so curious about what it looks like where you run all over the world. If you hate bringing stuff on your run, just take a picture post-running of what you wore during the run. I will post all of it here. And I will start by posting a pic of my cold running gear from yesterday as soon as my man and son wake up in the room where that stuff is.

Running with nylons

Running with nylon pantyhose on was a pretty good idea, but opting for the control top version was a lousy decision. 

Heidi, just one more run!

and victory is yours. you've really kept going. 

bravo.

I went running this morning, leaving the kids with two talkative men, aka their grand fathers. It was so so so cold. It was so cold, tears were streaming down my face as I ran. I was wearing fleecelined tights, but still froze. Tomorrow I'll try Megans advice and run with nylons beneath. Also finally bought a runners jacket. Whoever said "running is cheap - all you need is a pair of shoes" never spent their running winters in Sweden.
