Running Tip: When dressing for exercise in the cold it is important to have adequate insulation from the elements without accumulating sweat in the clothing. Multiple layers of clothing provide good insulation. The innermost layer should carry sweat/ moisture away from the body surface. Also since much heat can be lost through the head, proper head wear is a must.

Thanks for your support! Runabout has survived its first six months!
