Sometimes, I wear one of the "hoodies" you can see on the older pictures in my post about running outfits from May. No matter which one, I am always wearing at least two different layers for running, unless it is really warm.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-44430044631144176742012-10-27T02:16:08.949+02:002012-10-27T02:16:08.949+02:00sorry to hear about your cough, hope you're we...sorry to hear about your cough, hope you're well soon<br />but glad to hear your doctor gave you time off!<br />Nonnie aka Scrappy GramsNormahttp://nonniesobservations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-29987298214118890842012-10-26T21:48:16.236+02:002012-10-26T21:48:16.236+02:00Really like your new running pants!

The lady involved in my friend's incident was walking away from the car and actually stepped out into the road. She was on her way home from a prayer meeting and in those days dressing entirely in black for church was common amongst older (and some younger) people here on the Island and, oc course, her head would have been covered too.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-6102747996500321872012-10-26T10:13:58.559+02:002012-10-26T10:13:58.559+02:00Dear Kay, I am a bit better but the cough is still...Dear Kay, I am a bit better but the cough is still present, although the coughing fits are less frequent now.

Was her face black, too? Here in Germany, kids are taught to walk on that side of a road facing the oncoming traffic, not with their back to it (presuming there is no pavement), so that they are easier visible to drivers and they themselves can see easier what's coming their way.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-36222107398791478182012-10-26T10:09:54.211+02:002012-10-26T10:09:54.211+02:00Thank you :-)Thank you :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-19688391393974235872012-10-26T10:09:46.173+02:002012-10-26T10:09:46.173+02:00Hello Jane and Lance,

These running pants look really good, and I hope you very soon are well enough to use them. Drink lots of water and make yourself chicken soup. (And eat it! Lots and lots of it!)

I'm used to book shops selling coffee but not the other way around. I wish that more people would make sure that they are visible with hi-vis clothing at night. Years ago a friend hit a lady dressed entirely in black on an unlit road. I've never forgotten the incident (over 30 years ago) so heaven knows what my friend thinks when she drives at night. Keep safe and I hope your cough goes away quickly.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-39700315678831541452012-10-25T20:57:48.082+02:002012-10-25T20:57:48.082+02:00Great looking outfit, Meike.

It's so easy to forget how quickly one becomes invisible to drivers when darkness falls, even in town where there are streetlights. And especially in dark clothing. (I don't run, but I walk. I have at least one reflex tag in every coat or jacket but it's easy to forget to take them out.)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.com
