I was too hot. For the past couple weeks this is how it usually goes. I walk out and feel the temperature and wind then turn around and go back inside for more clothes. While putting me shoes on outside, I'm thinking how cold it is. Then, wouldn't you know it, about a half mile in to my run - I'm too hot. I just need to get a better handle on the correct gear for the temperature. I'm thinking I'll always wear the wind jacket and dress one layer lighter than I think is the right clothing combination!

Ran down to Wilson Road and used the onramp to Lake Shore Drive northbound as my hill for the morning. It wasn't long enough for the 30 second sprints I was supposed to be doing. I need to scout out better hills and perhaps try to locate a parking garage to run in on the wintry mornings ahead.
