Oh my gosh, let us know what you decide on with the arm warmers. I need new ones BADLY after my own arm warmers ate my arms alive during the Chicago Marathon. Ouch. They are SO fired. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to put a large rubber-y seam at the top should be punched in the face (I’m talking about you, Endura)! Although, in all fairness, they are probably fine for biking (which is what they were made for) . . . just not so much for running 26.2 miles in.

I personally love my arm warmers because I’m an early morning runner and as the sun rises, it gets warmer, but it’s super cold some times when I start. But they’re definitely not scratchy – they’re really soft on the inside. I got them from REI and they only cost about 20-24 bucks, I think. I’ll look the brand and send you a note on Twitter, incase you want to try new ones!

You’re so cute, itching for a chance to wear your capris… Come for a visit to the NE – I’ve been wearing mine for weeks now! LOL

Assuming the weather remains about the same as this weekend, I plan on wearing: Running capris, a short-sleeve shirt with arm warmers and a hat! (And socks and shoes and fuel belt, and blah, blah, blah!)

How big is the pocket on the Moeben sleeve? Just big enough for a nano, or any bigger? Could an iPhone fit in there?

So…I’m dying to know what you’ll be wearing LV 1/2 race morning. I’m guessing that 6am in Vegas in December will be a little cool in anyone’s book.

I have some arm warmers. I got them at Road Runner Sports (they also have them online). They’re by Moeben, pretty lightweight, and they have a little slot for my iPod Nano. They were about $30. I also have a heavier pair that my bro-in-law gave me (hand me downs) for cycling. I like the lighter pair better for running.

Weird freaky weather! We’ve had some strange swings in the temps; it gets really cold, then really hot, then cold again. I’m thinking we’re probably hitting a point where we’ll stabilize into typical winter temps… but then that could be wishful thinking.

I had another friend who said the same thing about cycling vs. running arm warmers. I’ll have to take a look at those too!

I am really really really really tempted to do Surf City, probably just the half. I’ll make my decision soon, but I really appreciate the invite… that would be really appreciated! It is always nice to have people at a race that you know!

My cold is definitely different than Colorado cold! But we do get chillier than a lot of people realize.

It has been unseasonably warm here in NJ…usually we are gearing up for the first snow and today it is 70degrees. For the second straight weekend, I ran in shorts!! Weather wise, it has been a year of freakish temps during the wrong time.
