Last month, ShopRite near my office was stocking Halloween candy. Today in Macy’s a worker was assembling and decorating Christmas trees.

What cold weather gear would you recommend for a runner. Temps between 25-40.
What jacket would you recommend, do you or your wife have a favorite for running?
thanks.

My Briggs story: My second car was an International panel truck. Worst car ever and I became friends with a mechanic at the local International dealer. When I couldn't deal with it anymore I sold it to him. His name was Dan Briggs. That was in 1972.
I met my ex in 1990. Her step father was named Dan Briggs. The Dans were not related.

The general rule of thumb in VA, at least from RVA to the beach is(under normal weather conditions) to dress for temps 20 degrees above what the actually temp is going to be. Better to be cold for the frist mile or two then comfortable the rest of the way, than warm for the first mile and roasting the rest of the way. Realize the best temps for running are around 40. You might need something for your ears/hands, but not cold enough for a jacket. Maybe a long sleeve running shirt. The Shamrock in 2018 was one of those rare days when you needed a jacket.

If you have to do an event with the wife for support, do the Surf N Santa. It's a laid back, family friendly event that allows strollers. I don't remember if the Christmas Town 8K allows strollers. Both are fun runs for the season.

Modest proposal: Transport earth from the barren, uninhabitable west (e.g., Wyoming) and create more East Coast.
