What I actually wore

I didn't have an ear warmer, so I wore a lightweight hooded long-sleeve top. The hood did its job. I skipped gloves and pulled the stretchy sleeves over my hands instead.

How it felt

I wasn't cold while running. I ignored the chill at the start and only really noticed it during the last 100 feet or so, when I walked home.

Next time

Wear lightweight gloves. The app was right to recommend them.
Press Run Now before leaving.

My feedback in the app

I chose “No change.” I hadn't followed the outfit advice completely, so I didn't want to adjust it based on this run.

See my journal entry

RunOutNow Journal entry with Just right and No change selected. The saved advice lists warm fleece gloves and feels like 31 degrees. — Full journal screenshot.

I logged this after getting home. The journal shows 31°F and fleece gloves; my check before leaving showed 32°F and light gloves.

A note to myself

I forgot to press Run Now before leaving and logged the run at home. Importing Apple Watch workouts through Apple Health could capture the actual start time and duration.
