With the temperatures seasonally cold I found myself faced with a whole new challenge:
How to dress for succesfully staying warm?
In previous years I addressed this issue by staying on the couch, but this year I no longer will be deterred by a bit of frostbite.
I'm a runner hear me roar!
It's all about layering
Looking around the internet the answer was obvious: layering. To keep warm during wintry temperatures you gotta layer yourself. So that's what I did.
First I put on a little vest, followed by a t-shirt, followed by a long sleeved top, followed by a sweater. And I finished the look with my windbreaker that I bought at the Aldi for only 2 dollars.
Just thinking about all the money I saved there made me feel all warm and fuzzy. And to top it off I put a hat on top of me. I looked like I'd gained several ounces.
But I wasn't cold!
I'm actually feeling kind of hot. And not in a good way
To be honest, after about half a mile I felt decidedly hot. So I hiked my sweater up around my bosom finally looking like the buxom woman I would have been if only my breasts were bigger.
After a succesful, quite heated run, I came home telling my husband:
'I have soo many layers!' to which he replied: 'Yes you do honey. You're really deep.'

That's great you don't let the cold weather deter you.
P.S. Thank you for continuing to visit me, while I was without a computer. Good news my new computer arrived yesterday! Yea!
i've lived in a different country before and i've experienced winter. it was really so cold and thermal underwears are not enough. i used to layer too. :D
I keep trying to convince my kids to layer for the bus. So far, no luck, but I will keep working at it.
LOL
Yeah, I grew up in Arizona but my husband and I moved to Michigan so this is my first "real" winter and there are so many times I overdress or underdress for the temp.
I'm in Cali and if I try to layer for the "cold" I end up SO hot! I don't know how you ran with all those layers!
Haaa haaa! Very funny! I am sure that you are deep!!!
I have also added this button to my blog!!!
I love your husband's response to your comment! On a serious note, I too have over-layered before a cold winter walk and it can be a decidedly uncomfortable feeling! Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community. Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!
I'll be on the couch in fuzzy socks watching you out the window cheering you on. I love your husbands reply. It made me chuckle.
Thanks so much for sharing this with Sweet Tea & Friends this month sweet friend.
