I use a buff for winter runs, preferably the 'light' ones ( not half fleece ), wrapped around neck, whenever ears freeze i pull it up to cover mouth, nose, ears. Then i get too hot, i lower it again.
Congrats!

it's really only my ears that get uncomfortably cold on a run, unless it's well below freezing, so i feel like i'd cycle through the too hot phase too much to make a buff work.

left it a little short today because i overshot both of the last two days. just good to get out the door and stay on schedule.

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 5 km @ 4:31 [4:33, 4:30, 4:30, 4:31, 4:30]
-- cool down

hell yeah. this is 1:35 half marathon pace. i couldn't do that for 21.1 km, at least on a route with climbs like this one has. but if i stay healthy and consistent, i'll definitely be able to by march.

EDIT: i just looked at the results from last year's rock and roll half marathon. noticed that a friend finished in 1:24, just outside the top 100 overall, 19th in our age group (out of about 7,500). that's pretty impressive. 1:35 would put me around 350th overall, or around 65th in the age group. 1:30 would put me closer to 40th in the age group and top-200 overall.

even 1:35 is 95th percentile, that's cool.

- run 24:36, 4.80 km
just to get the blood flowing a little. pretty cold and a bit windy.

- run 54:47, 9.45 km
w/gf, quite slow as she was low on energy.

well, so much for getting busy. woke up this morning with the worst hangover in recent memory. was feeling okay enough by late afternoon to drag myself out the door but didn't achieve much, except the in the sense that something>>>nothing.

- run 20:43, 3.92 km
felt like shit

- run 39:22, 7.58 km
legs still a little stiff/sluggish. left ankle was there right at the beginning but milder than yesterday and it went away.
