Running on a cold day

I went for a 10K run today. It was 30 degrees and there was snow and ice on the shoulder. And Paulo Nuttini's song new shoes played on my ipod. and i was inspired to come jot down some notes on what might "feel alright". so here you go.
Yes new shoes would be great. I was running in my Adidas Adistar Cushion 6.0 or something like that. But while they are light weight and great for summer running, I had to wear two pair of socks to keep my feet warm. So maybe it is time to find a good pair of winter running shoes. And so I am in search.

Shoes: Need to come in a size 5 1/2. Be attractive. They should fit a women's neutral foot, narrow heel, and wide toe box, and moderate to high arch. Waterproof would probably be good for winter's sloppy roads. There is a pair of Vasque trail shoes that got Outdoor Magazines Gear of the Year award. Blur.

It might be a good idea to be able to add some sort of extra traction if necessary for slick streets. I have had Yaktrax Walkers before and blew out the rubber thing and had the coils come unwound. This might be time to try the new Kahtoola Microspikes or to upgrade to Yaktrax Pro.

Sox: Warm, Smart Wool. Some of my favorite include the Women's Adrenaline Mini Socks.

Tights. I really want to try the CW-X tights. These are the ones that are designed to help support your joints. The CW-X Insulator Expert Tight looks perfect for what I need.

Tops. EMS Techwick lightweight 1/4 zip and or the Hind Windproof Sport top

Head wear. I have a wee noggin. I like to wear earwarmers over hats if at all possible to vent the brain. Perlizumi have some nice ones that wick really well.

Gloves/ Mittens: Like my noggin, my digits are pretty small and get cold really easily and take forever to warm up. I prefer glove liners down to freezing and then mittens preferably with a windproof shell below freezing.

Undergarments: The fewer seams the better. The world would be a better place all around with less chafing in sensitive regions. And since I am of modest means and can't afford to own one for every day of the month and have to wash them often. Because, well, I sweat. I can tell you are shocked. And because I sweat they need to be washed. Bras and undies that let go fo the odor of the last good sweat would be fantastic.

Well that's a start.
Get out there and run. Don't let the weather hold you back.
