I hedged my bets about today's weather after chickening out on yesterday's brisk 19F (-7C) morning. In doing so, I wore one too many layers and had to suck it up the entire run. There is such a thing as too many layers, and while my face was a little chilly, the rest of me (particularly upper body) was warm. Too warm. I probably would've been faster if I'd been a little colder.

In spite of that, today was a productive run. Yesterday was a good example of "if I don't run in the morning, I will do no significant physical work the rest of the day."

The cold is beatable, even for long runs. I just have to be a little smarter about layering next time.
