Congratulations. How do you feel now another thing I do, the same as skiers, I wear a breathable cover, over my mouth in cold weather. This allows a filter to protect the lungs from cold air. I have a small narrow flask I got at a sport shop that I use for water after reading your blog. I put room temp water in it. However, as the weather gets colder, I’ll warm it up a bit. I find layering my clothes the best for me.i put a short slender ski warm jacket on, then a vest with a hood, winter but flexible material. Then I have a longer vest, very very lightweight with loose armholes that I open once I get hot. Then I can unzip the other vest as well if I get hot. Plus base layer of cotton short sleeved T with long-sleeved stretchy sport cotton over. I never unzip my first ski jacket only the two vests. I only do interval running and with a tuque and sometimes the added hood, it’s a warm one from my first vest, I never reach a shiver or get a sore throat. I used to before I did all this with the layers.

Wow you sound like you know what you're talking about. I start with two bras. A regular one and then a sports bra that I get in three packs from Walmart. I think the combo is as good or better than the expensive running bras sold in sports stores. Then I wore long sleeve wicking fabric base layer. On top I wore an Under Armor cold gear hoodie and jogger pants. I wore wool hiking socks, polar tech watch cap, and I lightweight infinity scarf from Walgreens. I like the thin fabric because I can breath through it and it blocks wind. I also wore mittens, and a garmin gps forerunner 35. I use my watch to watch my pace and time. I also wear a running belt for my phone and keys. I try to keep my pace about 3.2 mph. I can't worry about people passing me because I am running my own race. If I keep around 3.2 mph then I can keep going with jogging and not start walking. I wear New Balance 840 with an insert. I can buy 7d with New Balance and they are deep enough for aftermarket orthodic inserts. I try to get an insert with support and cushioning. Inserts are very important for my running. I go to shoe, foot professionals to help me select shoes and inserts. I knew I couldn't do that by myself. I also wen to the mayo sports medicine department for a check up and some training sessions to make sure that I could jog safely.
