Yesterday started out warm enough.\u00a0 I had to change out of the sweater I was planning on wearing to church because it was too hot.\u00a0 Switched out for a polo after church to run errands as we were nearing 75 degrees give or take.\u00a0 Noticed a very strong north wind while dropping off the recycling, and while in the store it began getting cold.\u00a0 Filling up with gas, I was wishing for a coat.\u00a0 One hour later and I was in a a sweatshirt and down vest.\u00a0 So after baths, George’s haircut, and picking up some great new to us toys from some friends, I was ready to run.\u00a0 I missed runs Thurs-Sat, and was really wanting to run, so 25 mph winds and 10 degree windchill wasn’t about to stop me.<\/p>\n
First mistake was that I overcompensated for the wind.\u00a0 Wore a fleece shirt and a wind-proof jacket.\u00a0 After about 1.5 miles I was extremely warm and drenched.\u00a0 Headed home and dropped off the pup and went bakc out for some more after dropping the fleece.\u00a0 Felt good for about the next 2 miles, but by then the outer jacket was drenched as well, and the wind was doing a great job of cooling me off.\u00a0 Pushed through to get to 5 miles, but was on the verge of getting very cold.<\/p>\n
What a rookie mistake.\u00a0 I’ve watched Bear Grills and Survivorman enough to know not to get all sweaty in the freezing temps.\u00a0 The trick is to not get your clothes wet, and allow them to keep you warm.\u00a0 I missed.\u00a0 Should have changed my base layer to one that wasn’t sweaty when I took off the fleece, or should have taken off the jacket prior to getting all sweaty, to allow evaporation to work.\u00a0 OR maybe I just need a breathable windshell.<\/p>\n
But I did manage a nice ice-stache.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
