Went for a run yesterday afternoon in what I would consider the first really cool day of the fall here in MN. Air temp was 42 F., but the wind chill was 35 F.
Cold feet flying over the chip seal street (notice the curved up toes )
Here is a bit of the scenery where I live. If I go straight and head out of town it's my favorite gravel road. I turned right and ran by the anhydrous ammonia tank (smelled like window cleaner for a few seconds). This 2 block stretch of road is the only street in town that isn't chip sealed, they just layed the asphalt last month.
After 4 miles, done and my feet were a little red from the cold. The feet themselves felt fine, my big toes got cold though. They have gotten frostnipped in the past, so they are probably a little more susceptible to cold though. Otherwise it was a pretty good run, the chip seal stung a little more than normal on the cold feet but not too bad.
I wore a lightweight merino wool base layer, a long sleeve underarmor loose shirt and a lightweight fleece vest on the top. And a pair of lightweight tights and my running shorts on the bottom.
