What I Wear & When!

Don't be fooled by the confusedly garbed me you see in this AI-generated pic! (And those biceps are definitely mine!)

I hate being cold!

As I'm recovering from my PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injection, I'm noticing our change in seasons here in Iowa with temps finally dropping.

I've said it before and it's worth repeating here that I'll take the hottest, most tropical day over a frigid one with horrid sub-zero wind chills. But our weather in the Midwest most typically falls somewhere between those extremes.

Like any good runner, my closet is a sanctuary for running attire of all seasons - along with at least a half dozen running shoes. From feather-light singlets to thick quarter-zip tops to baccaras to thin long-sleeved tops to wind-resistant tights to several pairs of gloves - each for a certain temperature range.

Having some fun with this, I've put together the chart below to explain the running gear I utilize and when. Please Note:  Temperatures are based on “feels like.”  No way am I’m overlooking those wicked wind-chills!

I'll also add that several of the pics in this post are the product of AI. Although my face may be showing my age, it hasn't turned to rubber. Yet.

I hope everyone's enjoyed another glimpse into my twisted mindscape. What do you think? How do your temperature ranges compare to mine? Let me know in the comments. And thanks for reading this post!
