After yesterday's little frozen hands debacle, I stopped by one of my local running stores and picked up a pair of these Nike gloves:
They're more like liners than gloves, but they let enough air through to keep my hands from getting sweaty. Just what the doctor ordered! They have a cool key pocket on the palm of each hand. Unfortunately my key is too big to use the pocket though. Too bad the pocket's not big enough for a cup of coffee. Oh well. The best part is they were the least expensive gloves in the store at $17.95.
And with those, day two of morning running is in the books. I got out around 7AM today. While the thermometer showed the same temperature as yesterday, the addition of the gloves and the bright sun made it seem infintely warmer. I ended up putting in 5 miles at an average pace of 9:10 with an average heart rate at 80% of max. Right dead on in the aerobic zone.
On the plan tomorrow - 3 easy miles. I'm heading out earlier and not forgetting the camera.
OOOH way to go Glenn! See I knew you were a morning runner at heart! lol
ReplyDeleteIt was 25 degrees again this morning...not as bad as last weeks 25 degree run! lol
Cant wait to see pictures!
Hmmmm. I always thought gloves would make my hands too sweaty. Good job on the morning running!
ReplyDeleteNice looking gloves. By the way, what was the tempurature? And remember, I'm running in MN.
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I'm about to move to a cold climate from the tropics, so I'll be saving this post... :)
ReplyDeleteNice new gloves! I saw those and wondered if the key hole would be big enough.
ReplyDeleteAnother chilly one...love the gloves! I have a nasty habit of loosing mine so I have to buy the very, very cheap ones. Yours are slick and I bet they're warm!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started reading this I thought, "What, did Glenn move somewhere cold?" Now I see that you are just talking about early-morning in So Cal. I remember from last winter how cold I got. I may have to check out those gloves since I'm going to be forced into running in the early a.m.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a key holder in the gloves - genius! They look warm too.
ReplyDeleteoooh your gloves look like the big brother version of my gloves. :) I know that I'm going to end up wearing my super fluffy winter mittens over them when it actually gets cold here. should be a sight to see. :)
ReplyDeleteNice gloves!
ReplyDeletei have a similar pair of gloves. they work well! my key fob thingy doesn't fit though, bummer. i don't wear mine when it's 50* out though ;)
ReplyDeletejust bustin' your chops of course.
