Humidity/Precip: Moderately high/none
Wind: 10 mph
Terrain: Rolling hills
Distance: 3.5 miles
Did it Work: Yes! I was so happy in this run. My outfit was comfortable from beginning to end (I stayed in the shade on the outbound, so I wouldn't heat up too quickly).
If it's 55-65 outside and you're debating going for a run, do it! These are perfect running temps, especially if it's sunny and a little breezy. For more info on 60-degree runs and springtime precautions, check out this post.
Why the iPod is Featured: I'm showing off my old-school nano (which is a maxo compared to the new nanos) to show that you don't have to buy a bunch of new stuff to run. Old gear that works is good! My nano is dying - it stopped letting me add new songs after my last half marathon, but the old music still gets me through my workouts and, until it dies, I won't be buying a new one. (Update, the nano finally died. I took it to Apple and got a credit toward buying a new shuffle. I plan on running that into the ground, too!)
Happy running!
I have the same iPod, except a bit older from when it only came in white and black! It's still functioning, although the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, and it gets me through my runs just fine. No need to buy a new one. I'm about to try this outfit out, but with a windbreaker thanks to some clouds and a bit of wind. We'll see how it goes!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah Kate,
ReplyDeleteHope the outfit worked for you. Did you rock the NU colors too? :-)
I know people say new technology isn't designed to last but I'm with you - as long as it works for the need, then it works just fine.
Serene
It worked, but I wish I traded the windbreaker for some leggings...I was too hot up top and took off the jacket but my legs were chilly...then again, I tend to run a bit cold in general. I did not rep NU, but rocked my garnet Florida State jacket, my own alma mater :)
