Today it was time to go out for a run.

Earlier this week I bought 2XU Winter tights and the girl I talked to about these tights informed me that in this part of the country when it is really windy the cold will go straight through these tights. It has been a really windy day today so I decided to take these thights out for a test. Put the Winter equipment on because I hate to be cold, better to be able to take off clothes during the run if it turns out it is too warm.

In the beginning I had windstopper, fleece, long sleeve, 2XU compression tights, gloves and hat. The tights passed the test, I didn’t freeze :-)

After a while I also took off my gloves.

There were also some other tough runners who were not afraid of the wind.

I wanted to have a slow flat run today and I was breathless at a pace of 6.15 min/k, might be the wind. What is more refreshing then a cold upwind?

After 1# of the run I had to take off my windstopper, felt a bit too warm but then at 6K it was time to put on the windstopper and gloves again but the gloves got off after a short time :-)

It was nice getting out running even if it was windy, it was very nice seeing all those lovely Fall colors
