I have a running friend. No, I correct myself I have a ‘hard core’ running friend, she can run full marathons, and is usually training for something or another. We got talking about what we dressed in to go running. At the time it was about -23 with the wind chill. So my daughter and I said we had long underwear, track pants, under shirt, shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, scarf, hat, mittens. As our list of clothing grew, she laughed harder and louder and through the tears of laughter she said ‘but don’t you get too hot??’. We said ‘hell no it is -23 out there’. I got thinking afterwards how very beginnerish we were in our layers and how totally NOT streamlined. Not being one to worry too much about what others may think, we did not change how we dressed for the cold, but we have eased up on the layers as the weather has nudged its way up towards zero. Imagine how fast we will be running this summer and how much more professional we will look in just shorts and a tee!!!
