Nuke vest.  All of the cool kids wear them.  So do me and Dave.

 

Yeah, my club is gung ho about them. I like to run in the dark, lol.

Coming from a place where people would do bad things to you if they see you running, I have been used to running ninja style and just use a light when I need to look at the road (for not falling purposes).

 

It feels like 92F in Miami right now.  I am loving this weather. Ran in 28F last night and loved every minute of it in the dark.  And I can breathe fine which is a lot to say compared to Miami.  How low can I go? We shall see!

 

And coincidentally, I dressed like you would in 50s 

 

25 degrees here this morning. I was dressed similar to that (probably a little less, because I want to be cold when I jog to work so I don't sweat), and definitely in a less fashionable way.

Hopefully you at least stay out of the traffic lanes when dressed all in black! Since the time change, there have been 3 different incidents involving car and pedestrian or biker in my neighborhood.

I run on the road but my neighborhood has pretty wide streets and the sidewalk is right by me where I can hop if needed.  I don't feel afraid of being run over here and I turn on my hand lamp when a car approaches so they can see me.  But they don't need to see me all the time.  I know eventually I'll get over the fear of being kidnapped, shot at or killed, but today is not that day, lol.

 

Yeah, so you know how there are runners who are all dogmatic about "heel striking is the worst thing ever"? Lots of divers are the same way about kicking. Except that there actually is merit to that since it's more efficient not to use a bicycle kick, but whatever. I'm probably doing some weird combo of frog kicking and bicycle kicking. Unless I want to move fast (like... chasing dolphins!), in which case I'll flutter kick, which I CAN do without bending my knees, but that is exhausting. Guess at which point that happened.

I see it. lol

I've been needing a pair of 28 - 32 degree gloves for over two years now. 

Success! And I can return them if necessary. #winning

Funny how most of the ones I tried on I knew immediately they wouldn't work. That's were the convenience of online shopping has its biggest downside and a major reason I won't buy gloves or sunglasses online ever again.

I don't run in a vest, I use the shoe lights instead. They work fine for the area I run in. I wouldn't mind having some knuckle lights however, but I would only need them for about a half mile so I just tough it out.

That's what I use, knuckle lights.  They are amazing.

Oh, and I appreciate the Cyborg being mindful of the light his lamp puts out. Them things have me ready to haul ass in the other direction sometimes because I can't make out what the hell it is.

I know, right? I see some bikes equipped with a flashing light so bright I have to look away. It's usually just casual people on bikes, too. I can see the scene in the store with the seller going "It's important to be seen. The brighter the better. Flashing catches the eye more. Here, buy this. It's the brightest we've got. You'll be seen 3 miles away. Oh and I recommend changing the batteries after each use, and carrying some on you."
