what (not) to wear: 46 degrees

Target: 5 miles
Actual: 6.39 miles @ 11:16/mi

Weather: 46 degrees, 4 mph wind, 69% humidity

Felt like: Tired and a little weak

What I wore:

• Nike sublimated short-sleeve jersey over
• Reebok mock-neck thermal long sleeve jersey under
• Nike Dri-Fit Two-In-One 4" Running Shorts 
• Nike Running ball cap
• Nike Running gloves 
• Thorlo thick cushion running socks 
• Nike Air Pegasus+ 29 running shoes 

Too warm. It needs to be at least another 5 degrees cooler to wear a thermal top like that. After several minutes running, I took the gloves off and tucked them into my Spibelt.

My clothes today were really f***ing bright. I looked like a clown. But, I didn't get hit by a car, even though some asshole did his level best.

Today I experimented with mid-run refueling. Clif Shot Bloks are totally eatable on the run without water. Clif Shot Gels need water, but were easy to consume with no issues.

I took 3 Bloks immediately before the run with about 4 oz. water, I took another Blok at mile 4, and took the Gel with about 4 oz. water at mile 5. The refueling worked wonders on my per mile avg. on the return leg, over a 1' per mile :-)
