What is a girl to wear?

[Lise]

Folks have given you some great tips here, B3. I would add to keep a journal/log about your running. Last year was the first time I ran through the winter. I wrote down the temperature, what clothing combo I tried that day, and what I thought of it. I tweaked it until I found what worked for me depending on conditions. I'll refer to it again this winter, because, of course, I don't remember!

As yellow said, I get pretty hot while running. Only the wind really chills me. Headband and gloves are usually in my pocket by the end of the run, and I'm dripping sweat, even in the 20s. I just ordered some Smart Wool liner gloves. The poly liner gloves I ran with last winter are still good, but I patched up the seams a couple of times! I figured it would be good to try out some new ones, and keep one pair as a back up.

I got some Nordic Walking shoes from Asics, which are also great for running when it's slippery out. http://asicsamerica.com/product.asp?...Y_ID=250001384

Have fun! I'm so glad you're enjoying the running. Here is a link to a Nordic walking site--you might find that interesting, too. http://nordicwalker.com/
