With the forecasts coming our way...how are you planning on dressing for the half/full? I think figuring it out last year was much easier because it was going to be COLD the entire way!! I'm confused!! :confused3
 
Shorts and a short-sleeve shirt for me. I'll wear some throwaway sweats to keep warm until the start. Unless the temperature stays around 40 for an entire run, I do fine with short sleeves.
 
So far, it's looking like shorts on bottom for sure. I'd like to wear just a singlet to the line...but I think I'm going to be too cold for that...I may wear a pullover that I can tie around my waist...or maaaaybe a throwaway sweatshirt layer. Adding a poncho if there's rain.
 
DH and i were just talking about this.

Weather.com predicts rain up until Saturday (not wearing my running sneaks until race day..don't want them to be wet!). Hopefuly Sunday will be clear.

My plan is to wear a sleeveless shirt and shorts. Put on a long sleeve throwaway and a throwaway fleece (going to a discount store to buy something cheap). Even 50 degrees can feel cold at 4am. For me, i love to run in 52 degrees with a long sleeve shirt. Chances are it will get up to 65+ so tossing it will be. Hopefully disney donates, or i'm going to feel very bad about littering :).

Will bring garbage bag or poncho if it's raining. Doesn't look like it will be in the 20s like last year. :banana:
 

Much, much less than last year!! :)

I'm not a warm weather girl - grew up in an ice rink. I plan on throw away fleece top and sweatpants and a cheap poncho/trash bag if it is raining. I'll ditch all but the fleece for the start and will likely lose the fleece by mile 2. I'll be sleeveless at that point.

But don't judge by me. I ran the half last year after mile 2 in a long sleeve tech shirt and tights and I was just fine. I also had a headband that stayed on to cover my ears and gloves that I took on and off several times. The people at mile 10 that still had on several layers really freaked me out!
 
I'm wearing a sleeveless UA shirt and shorts. Trash bag to keep warm prior to the start. As long as my hands are warm, I'm warm, so I'm wearing a pair of light weight Nike gloves for the race. Cold weather doesn't bother me and I've been training in the teens and 20's the last month. Shows a low of 48 on the 8th so that will be like a heat wave. LOL
