I was scheduled for 12 hours today, but one of the guys is on vacation so I picked up the night shift as well. So I'm here for 24 hours which equals no running.
QOTD: Why do so few runners wear white shirts? Maybe it's just the ones I see. but most of the runners that I see wear darker colors. Yesterday I was laying out on my deck in the sun. The Temp was in the mid 70s. I covered my face with a gray shirt and realized that it was hotter at that temp then when I had done the same thing with a white shirt at 90 degrees. I have started to wear white shirts anytime the temp goes above 65-70. I think it helps.
Day off from my job today... but very busy with grandmother duties. Cooking, cleaning. I have to say I enjoythose things more as a grandmother than I did when my kids were this age. Less pressure, I guess.
Tonight I am going to run long. I think I have forgotten what it feels like.
Qotd: I love white shirts....but I don't have any tech ones. I would wear them if I did...bit in summer I wear stretchy camisoles and don't wear t shirts.

Rest day. And I need one after the back to back long runs this weekend. That second day was tough!!!
QOTD: I don't know. I rarely wear white.

Warden...beautiful pics! I envy where you live and all the fun things you do. I am pretty sure yours is the life I envisioned would have when I was young and clueless. Way to go....you are a fortunate man!

I went out for what was supposed to be a 5 mile hike/jog for recovery and ended up with a pretty damn impressive run. I felt really great, even running the hills. I hope this feeling isn't temporary.
QOTD: I'm pretty careful to wear white when it's warm out. I have race shirts in 3 colors, and thankfully one of those colors is white. It makes a pretty big difference, especially in the summer.

I got out for 3.25 this morning. Fall is definitely here. It was cool--which I like.
QOTD: I don't usually pay attention to the color of shirt I wear and since I rarely run in the middle part of the day, it doesn't really matter.
Have a great day!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday

Still resting the sore calf, but it is improving quickly.
QOTD: I don't worry too much about what color I wear at what temperature. I find it doesn't matter much since I run mostly in the early morning either before the sun is up or at least before it is up very high. Also the trails here tend to have deep shade for the majority of most runs until the leaves are off the trees and then it is cool or cold..

MT - great photos
QOTD: I don't really think about shirt color - I try to avoid running in the sun.

Couldn't sleep most of the night so didn't get up this am. Still feel tired right now. Didn't run yesterday either..like I said I would. Will run after work with Earl. Kinda of rained this morning...that's exciting stuff around these parts.
QOTD: Earl...I have to help him into the jeep so the white shirts I have are stained.

Hello all. Ran Stumpy's fatass trail marathon yesterday. I didn't really race it, ran it at a medium effort or heck maybe just faster than long run effort. Who knows? Who cares? Nice day with lower humidity and starting temps in the 60's but it was likely close to 80 at the finish. Chalk it up as a good long run. Will take the gsp out tonight for 7 miles or so.
QOTD: Usually when it's hot enough for a shirt I don't wear one as I sweat so much. I do have a lot of orange shirts and it's getting close to the season where I'll wear those.
In dog beers, I've only had one.
SRD.
mt - great photos.
qotd: Two words "bloody nipples". I do much prefer to wear light colors when it's hot with direct sun, but I have to take proper precautions especially in our humid conditions down here.

7.5 in the sun.
Warden: nice pics!
QOTD: White shirts tend to get yellowish stains under the sleeves after a while, which are almost impossible to wash out. So they look "dirty" in a kind of embarrassing way after maybe not even a whole season. Therefore I prefer colors. I own one white shirt, which does not fit as well as my other shirts, so I rarely wear it.
Run for fun.
My main white shirt actually looks kind of disgusting, but since I mostly run alone I don't care too much about it. I do wish I could find a way to keep the stains to a minmum but nothing I've tried works. I just buy cheap ones at Target. They have some nice soft ones that are "nipple friendly". Now that it's getting cooler again I'll start to run in darker shirts.
