Heat Wave II

This is going to be a quick post before I get busy with all the Christmas festive coming in the way.

This is about how to dress warmly when it is bitterly cold outside. Actually, this is the second installment on Heat Wave. As you know, yesterday was 15 degrees with a wind chill factor of -5 to zero (25+mph wind). This is what I had to wear yesterday...


I admit it. I admit. I will say this. It was plainly put - very STOOPID !! Too many layers! I was overheated. I've felt like a "running sauna".

This morning, it was 20 degrees with a light wind. The wind chill factor was only 15. That's NUTHING !!! Actually, it was quite warm this morning. Very balmy! The hell with Florida!!! We the Nor'Eastern runners don't like Florida at this time of the year. This is absolutely the most perfect weather to run today. I cut down the layers so I won't be overheated this time. Ta-da....

20 degrees (feels like 15 degrees) - Perfect !

Weather update: Tomorrow forecast - rain and the high 52 degrees. I think this will be TOO HOT to go out for run tomorrow. I might take a day off tomorrow and go for a swim in the ocean to cool off.

I do feel for you southern runners this year.

However, I do love the second outfit. I think all the tready bank robber/runners are wearing them.

Sonia said...

The difference is insane. I always get sick when the weather plays tricks like that!

Rahn said...

Gee, I thought knee-high tube socks were required with the second outfit to get the perfect temp. Guess I've been doing it wrong.

Marcy said...

Oh my gawd Ted!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAA I AM DYING over here!! This was NOT what I expected. Ooooooo Lordy you crack me up!

Viper said...

You're supposed to put a NSFW tag on these kinds of pictures. These photos definitely are not safe for work. In fact, they're not safe ever.

Xenia said...

That picture left me speechless. Then Nitmos' comments gave me a lot of speech, but it's not suitable for the blogosphere.

Happy New Year, Ted! And get some clothes on! :)
