Not that it will be a problem for a while around here! I did just get some arm sleeves in my latest stride box that I want to try. They also have sun protection and are designed to be cool in the heat, but would also keep your arms warm when you start out.

Usually, I can get away with shorts, a long sleeve shirt, gloves and something over my ears, and i'm good to go.<br /><br />Hope you get some spring soon. Our weather is coolish right now. Hot during the day but still in the 60s in the early morning. Hopefully the pollen chills out soon.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-17901015437790233992018-05-09T21:06:17.706-05:002018-05-09T21:06:17.706-05:00I want to see a video of your closet!

Which I’m totally ok with because I love summer. <br /><br />I just like to make sure that in any weather I’m running in, I’m dressing as if it were about 10 degrees warmer. It usually only takes a couple minutes to warm up when your running.
