Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010Just a little reminder about what can happen when you don't wear enough clothing! (esp. when going on a long run! ) I did have 2 layers on my head, but one of my hoods kept falling down because of the wind-I usually wear a fleece hood and neck thing that just leaves my eyes out-it was warmer the day before and I just wore what I wore then. I know I lost a lot of heat through my head. I had mild case of hypothermia last night. I didn't check the temp before going out and the wind was stronger, too. Unfortunately, one of the symptoms is lack of judgment! Anyway, it's better to wear too much and shed than wear too little. I was not aware that this was happening until I was unable to stop shivering once I came home. I knew I was cold, but not how serious it can get and how quickly... I am sure all of you are smarter than I was last night. Hard lesson learned on my part! SCARY!! Take Care and dress warmly! Nichi |
