What we are reading, listening and loving in November.
Well, our Friday is off to an interesting start. After a wind-storm last night that knocked out our power and internet, I am camped out at a Starbucks. Obviously incredibly small compared to what others are facing. My heart goes out to everyone in CA dealing with the wildfires. Keep safe friends.
We hope you have a great weekend. Here are some interesting stories, books, and podcasts that we are digging right now.
As temps cool, these items keep me rolling in the winter:
30 - 45 Degrees:
Brooks NightLife Tights - I have last year's version and they are clutch for pre-dawn or post sundown miles.
Fleece Vest: Some times you just need to wrap up in fleece to get out the door. I have one from Janji from last year but this one looks super cozy from Oiselle.
Merino Wool - wool is a special fabric that keeps you warm without being bogged down with sweat. I love Tracksmith's Brighton Layer.
I wear gloves starting at 50 degrees because of Raynaud's and these from Saucony are my favorite for this temp range to keep warm without overheating.
Under 30 Degrees:
To me, this is really personal of how tolerant you are cold. I have zero tolerance so probably overdress for most people. But I'd rather shed a layer than be cold from the start. Investing in the right gear though to keep you warm, makes all the difference.
I wear a Lululemon Down Jacket when it gets really cold. Mine is from several years ago but similar to this one.
Fleece-lined tights with wind protection. There are a lot out there and it really depends on what you want to spend.
