Dress Attire

As we enter the "wet" or "cold" time here in the valley, it is important that you dress for the occasion (a.k.a. your training). I recommend checking the weather the night before as a quick reference for the following day's outfit. This will give you an idea of what to wear, but ultimately, you will know if it is too cold within the first couple of steps out the door. Keep the attire simple and in layers... I find it easier to have warm legs and tolerate cold arms, but I do not intentionally set out being cold. A little chill is okay, but anything more than that may require a wardrobe modification. Gloves and hats are always good as they are small and keeps the extremities warm... a long sleeve shirt can always be wrapped around the waist as well as your body gets moving. At this point, you should be trying different combinations of clothing to see what you feel most comfortable while running.
