Mid 5

 Experimenting with wool as a base layer.    Only  -2C wearing a mid weight 2/3 zip merino wool long sleeve tech T under my shell.   Didn't feel the cold pressing as bad and when the sweat came on it wasnt uncomfortable.    I always seem to struggle to stay comfortable running outside during the cold months.  Treadmill and gyms are a no go with the pandemic so its best to figure out how to be comfortable...if that's possible.     

 Haven't weighed myself since mid March!   Lost a wee bit of upper body muscle since then and the middle is a wee bit thicker so I expected to tip the scales 180+ lbs .... winter heavyweight.   I weighed myself 3 days this week and was 174,  177 and 174 lbs....same weight as before the pandemic.    I was pleasantly surprised.  

 So the last run of Oct 2020 was yet another 5Ker on my meal break this morning. 

Mid 4

 Its one thing to run at 3 am its quite another to do it outside in the cold , damp dark night!   Once again it was another 5 km on my meal break this morning. 

Mid 3

 Skipped Mid 2's run ,  just didn't feel like it.   Made sure I got one in this morning logging 5 km at 3 am on my meal break.   It was my first run in tights,  comfy but a wee bit warm.    

Mid 1

 First of 7 nights shifts this week.   Packed tights but used shorts ,  3C light N breeze and light rain wore running hat ,  gloves ,  long sleeve tech T , and shell.  Just a tiny bit cool at the start and a little warm at the end otherwise pretty comfortable. 

Sunday and Monday

 5 km on Sauble Beach on Sunday and Monday it was 4.8 km on the backyard trail.
