In honor of you all, I picked one of my favorite nicknames from this place and put it on my bibs for this fall's warm up series.

Lol. It wasn't a PR course - it's up and over one of the biggest bridges in the area, not once but four times. Still, I was only about 1:15 off my PR, 3:00+ better than last year (admittedly that effort was only 85%) and was really happy with the pacing.Originally posted by Joe Public View PostAwesomeness now has a name.

Counting today, there are 100 days left in the year. My goal is to run on as many of those days as I can."What are you prepared to do?" - Jimmy Malone

Plan on running a 1/2 marathon and then win the race for the full. Impressive.

First day back after burning my foot. I threw down a 5k. It may still be too early. I got done and the blister was totally re-aggravated and tender. I was really hoping 3 weeks was enough healing. Dammit...Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Awesome. Kind of reminds me of Utahn Paul Pilkington in the LA Marathon in 1994:Originally posted by BigPiney View Post

For a person who walks/jogs outside in the depths of winter - I am a wimp!
The last couple of days have been cool about 50 ) enough for me to break out the sweatshirts and gloves
I may be small, but I'm slow.

When I go out in the morning, I check the temp. I usually go by this:Originally posted by happyone View PostFor a person who walks/jogs outside in the depths of winter - I am a wimp!

60 or higher- shorts and short sleeve shirt
45-60- shorts and long sleeve shirt
30-45- tights, shorts, long sleeve shirt, vest, gloves, and headband

Raining or snowing- treadmill

I agree with those clothing guidelines, although around here anything below 30 is the End of Days and I'd likely sit it out.Originally posted by chrisrenrut View PostComment

When I was younger I would run in temps down to 0 degrees. No more for me either.Originally posted by lambdacoug View PostComment

That looks about right with a few caviatesOriginally posted by chrisrenrut View Post
50 deg in Sep/Oct seems a whole lot colder than 50 in March/Apr
My hands get cold easily, so I normally start wearing gloves at about 60 - sweat shirts - 40 or so. I normally where sweat pants all yr long. I never liked shorts even as a wee lad
I may be small, but I'm slow.

Here's mine, which is close to what everyone else does:Originally posted by chrisrenrut View Post
60 or higher- shorts and short sleeve shirt
50-60- shorts and long sleeve shirt
40-50- shorts, running jacket over short sleeved t-shirt
30-40- shorts, running jacket over short sleeved t-shirt, calf warmers/compression, maybe a running hat
25-30- shorts, running jacket over short sleeved t-shirt, calf warmers/compression, wool tuc
Under 25 or Snowing- doesn't really happen in Houston
Raining- as long as there's no lightening, I'm out there running. I did one of my 14 milers last winter in a cold rainstorm. Most miserable run I've had but glad I did it."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

You guys run hot! I don't know how you run in 50s and tights. Tights are reserved for under freezing or 40s and raining. I can't stand layers on my legs.
I go short sleeves down to 50, then long sleeve down to mid 30s, throw on a running jacket/gloves/hat under that. Shorts all the way.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
