The coldest I've ran in shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt was 50 and that was comfortable. Probably 40 is about the cut off point for me. Although if it's a race, it'd be much lower. Amazing what gloves and a hat can do.
x2. 40's and I need some tights. 50s might be iffy if it is windy. |

Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge Another cold day here. High of 40. Ugh. I shall run this afternoon. Then tomorrow is an off day! I could use it. My legs are sore from running/painting. And today I am painting one wall in my room. Chocolate cupcake is the color. Yum! |

Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge So we are finally getting cooler weather. Yea! It's 65 right now and our version of blustery as a storm system has just passed on through. I'll head out after I finish my tea for a shortie, maybe 4 miles, some of it at tempo.

Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge Earlier this week I officially started my 20 week marathon training program. Since I am still not that far past a decent injury I am taking it very slow. 20 weeks seems like a long time to me and I need to make sure I get all the way to the end with a sound mind and body! |

Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge runnerx - 2009-10-15 5:14 PM Ok - that was a cold one! Quick 6 miles - wasn't that bad with the rain, but the cold!! My legs were a nice bright pink when I finished. Didn't push too hard as I got my first, final and only 20 miler in 2 days. Why is it that on these back country roads, there can be no cars, no cars, no cars - then one from each side on a narrow part of the road? All types of confusion. Congrats on getting out there in such crappy weather. I used to live in Teaneck, near the GWB, so I know of the weather you are talking about. Although I am sick of the hot humid temps hear, I am not sure I would trade... Well maybe somedays... |

The coldest I've ran in shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt was 50 and that was comfortable. Since I live in the south like you, it's probably similar, at about 50 I'll start wearing light tights, especially on longer slower runs. For faster tempo or hill work I'll stick with shorts. If it's stormy/windy then that can change things. I run mostly in the AM and since we do get a few nights in the teens and some in the 20's it can be downright cold in the morning, then I'll go for double layer lights, or just wait to run later (50+/- is about the usual coldness of any given winter day hear)! I love the winter because I actually get more opportunities to run at different times of the day, instead of in the summer when you have to run pre-dawn, as it's the only time of the day the heat wont kill you! |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: E.V.I.L. Running Reapers - Halloween Run Challenge Good morning team EVIL! I sure hope Jen's cool weather is heading our way (it's supposed to). It's still warm and humid here, but it's supposed to be much cooler tonight! Could be interesting... I'm doing a reverse duathlon tomorrow morning, and I haven't ridden in the cold for a long time. But everyone else should be in the same position as me, right? Have a great weekend! |

Guess not.ebshot - 2009-10-15 3:06 PM I was soooo excited that I stripped off my painting clothes Interesting place for a line break.... And my brain DID interpret that as the end of the sentence.   x2 -- I thought about editing the post with some strikeouts in there to make it more interesting, then thought the same as you that I was just being an immature male. Funny! |

Well, since we're on immature male brains, this reminds me of a t-shirt I saw once many years ago. Something like: "S e x is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last." |

It's going to be an afternoon run for me today. Hmmm. I never put tights on until it got in the 30s. So, now, living in MS, I almost never wear tights (except on the bike). I will wear capris on the colder, damp days. I find that as long as I have a hat and gloves, I can tolerate pretty cold weather. Once, in VA, it warmed up pretty quickly after a snow, so I decided to go for an afternoon long run in the park near our house. While it was in the mid 40s in our backyard and all the snow had melted, I didn't take into account the micro-climate from all of the trees in the park. I couldn't run the trails because they were still covered in snow and ice, so I hit the road, and all I had on were shorts, a lightweight long-sleeved shirt, a ball cap, and gloves. (Well, socks and shoes, of course, too.) Everyone else out there was bundled up, but I felt great. Cold at the start, but just right the rest of the run. And I ran fast. |

I'm loving this weather, and it will be even better when the wind dies down a bit and the sun comes out. I'm off today, but I can't wait for my run tomorrow. I bet I run 10 seconds per mile faster than I usually do. |

All my family is still in Northern Jersey and NYC, I'll be up for a couple of weeks in December so I'll get my fix of the cold weather. Hopefully no snow so I can keep up with my training plan. It's taken 10 years and I am better with the humidity but I still have Yankee blood in my veins! |

I'm using it as an excuse to go shopping for some more cold weather running gear. I've got 4.5miles on the schedule for today. But first - laundry, vacuuming, and the grocery. Woo Hoo - talk about life in the fast lane. |

Until he gets faster than you, and then feign some injury in which you can only cycle or swim. |
