	Forecast for my race day on Sunday (sunrise 8:13, low winds, partly cloudy): Time - actual temp - feels like 8am - 35°F - 32°F 9am - 37°F - 33°F 10am - 41°F - 36°F Damn...just 3 weeks since the Chicago Marathon through the sweltering pits of Hell. I just today found a good deal on a LS Nike shirt (I loves me some TJ Maxx) with those extra long sleeves with thumbholes, but now I think I may actually start the race in regular lightweight gloves. Dang.

	Is your shirt also a turtleneck? I don't normally care for turtlenecks and it's really gaudy royal blue with bright yellow trim, but it will serve me better than my other LS tops. Now I'm wondering if I might want to wear a fleece jacket, too, though. Gah, I can't really remember what I should wear under those conditions. It won't be windy, so I think the single layer will be OK. I have plenty of blubber to keep me warm. This will be kind of a shock to the system. I think my coldest run this year was 45 or so. Eek. k

	Turtleneck?? No but when it gets freezing I wish it was! I think running tights and a long sleeve shirt will be fine! MTA: not that you asked my opinion

	All of my tights are just 3/4 length, so I think I will wear my favorite brooks pants...they aren't too heavy or too thin. Very comfy for just above freezing. k

Oh, I know after just a half mile or so that I will be comfy, but man that waiting for the start is gonna be awful...before the sun even rises... I'm seriously feeling chilled just thinking about it. I think we're gonna be in for a looooong Winter.... I don't know how our Alaskan and Canadian members do it every year! k

Actually, it looked like they had mittens that flipped over the fingertips. Of course, they didn't have any smalls.
	Lemme put your name on my shirt!

Of course, they didn't have any smalls. Ooh, shirts with mittens built-in?! I may have to check those out. That sounds even better than the Nike shirt. I know I'm going to want hand coverings of some sort, but I don't think I want to wear actual gloves or anything. k

	I want to go shopping with Zoomie and Joni You'll warm up fast, and I bet you'll be fine. I love those shirts with the thumbholes. You might want light gloves to start. I would think a fleece jacket would be too warm and a pain to carry when you took it off. Can you just wear an extra layer to start and leave it with did right before the race starts?
