Sometimes I think they're just camping out inside us just waiting for when we least expect it. Hope you had a relaxing holiday!

Congrats on 1st AG and 6th woman overall!...Woo hoo! Congrats on 1st AG and 6th woman overall! Dayum! That means a lot for a Chicago race! And you were so close to your PR from a few weeks ago. Can you believe how amazing this year has been?! You are rocking it. <br /><br />This race sounds fab for you, being so close to home. And I agree that is cool they offer a 5K participation medal. I know a lot of people who want to run shorter races, but want a medal too. <br /><br />I think a balaclava/neck gaiter is KEY for running in the winter. That is probably what keeps me outdoors, year round. And I just got a schweet new orange one. LOL. But, the hands are hard to figure out. Last year, I ran with ski gloves on a few times, because I was worried about the digits. If you don't like to deal with all that though, you don't need to ;)<br /><br />I am interested in your thoughts on "festive" fakeness. I am trying to think if I know anyone who is being fake festive. A lot of people I know are either really in to it, okay with it, or ready for the season to be over. I can think of some who act nice because of the time of year but are shits the rest of the year. Ha. Is that what you mean? :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-21768925213695998672013-12-02T09:21:27.395-06:002013-12-02T09:21:27.395-06:00LOVE those tights, you always have great tights. ...LOVE those tights, you always have great tights. Your lil dog does look sad he didn't get to run with you. I love finisher medals no matter the distance, just fun to get a prize. <br /><br />Congrats on your AG win and knocking three minutes off of last years time, that is pretty awesome, and running injury free.

How many pairs of gloves...Congrats on the 1st AG!!<br /><br />How many pairs of gloves do you wear? I have some thinner running gloves, but also have some "wind mitts" that I wear over them when it's really chilly. It helps a lot! This is what I have: http://www.brooksrunning.com/Utopia-2-in-1-Mitten/280169,default,pd.html. And then I can always take off (and carry) the wind mitt if I get too warm. <br /><br />Also, I find this time of year, I HAVE to have my neck warm. Either a mock-neck top/jacket, or a neck wamer (that I can pull up to cover my mouth/nose if necessary). I have a couple tops with built-in neck warmers that can be pulled up over my face, and I also have this in pink: http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13218779. I wear it so the printed part (which is a pretty thin material) is on top so I can pull that over my face, and the black fleecy part stays around my neck.

Maybe if the winds weren't blowing as hard for miles 2 & 3 you could have gotten closer to your PR. Oh well, most importantly you had a good time. I always seem to have more kick left in 5ks as well. This leads, me believe that if I started my kick earlier, I would do better. Anyway, regarding cold hands: I wear liner gloves under mountain hiking type mittens (that have a liner in them as well). My hands are never cold when I run in all temps. I may look a little goofy with these big mittens on, but most importantly my hands are toasty!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.com
