Objective: easy Weather: 40s F, continuous light rain, some fog, light breeze (Bf. 2). Not very comfortable today with the rain. Light nylon jacket w/ gortex lining was a little too warm at times, but mostly I dislike the bulk. One sweats enough that one ends up wet under the jacket anyway, but it does block the wind. The worst moments were after a bathroom stop, when I had start up again with wet clothes - br. Smartwool leggings under my running skort worked well. Shoes and socks stayed dry. I'm still contemplating the Sealskinz waterproof socks for those big downpour days I know are coming, but I'm just not convinced they would be comfortable enough at long distances. If anyone has a "dream jacket" they'd like to tell me about, I'd love to hear. I've got 3 and dislike all of them. Might take tomorrow off and try a long run Saturday. I'd really like to shake this cold for good.
