Avoid the Big Chill

Don't let cold weather take you away from your training.
Quick Tips:
- Try wearing latex medical gloves underneath your normal running gloves recommends co-captain Anne Shigley.
"I read this in an article about winter running," says Shigley. "I tried it a few times,
and it works, but makes your hands sweat more I think..... use glove
liners for light insulation, over a pair of thin rubber gloves (like medical or food service kind), and it will keep fingers warmer, and wind out.
Try Tronex Latex medical gloves ($5.99, your local CVS or cvs.com)
- Hand warmers = hot hands!
"In Disney, I saw a lot of those hand warmer packs thrown on the ground," says Trish Hardy, NF Endurance program coordinator. "I think some runners started out with them and discarded them once their bodies and the air temperature heated up." Note: They also can easily be tucked into your gloves.
Try Grabber Hand Warmers ($1.50, REI, rei.com)
