I love the gheyness. Gotta have compression under my shorts to prevent chafing, especially for long runs. Shorts on top of those need to be super short and light. I've perfected my kit over years of running!
I love being the older guy that shows up in the shorty shorts and whoops everyone's ass!

Don't be a pussy. All you need are some gloves, a hat, and your normal summer stuff. Maybe a long sleeve shirt. After a mile you'll be stripping the hat and gloves off.
Doesn't bother me. Viking dna I guess. I'm cold all over when it's sub 30 degrees for about a mile, then I'm like an oven. All the shit gets peeled off and sleeves get rolled up. Until sub 20...then the gloves stay on and hat is on more than it's off. For single digits the tights come out.
Ran 5.4 at Turkey yesterday.
The cold weather - I'm kinda like Laufen, except a little less tolerant of it. Used to, when I'd run in sub-freezing temps, I'd cough the rest of the day. Now that rarely happens. When I was training for that 50K last winter, it got down into the 20s one "long run" day. I think I went about a mile and wished I'd kept my gloves on. By 4 or 5 miles, I was OK, and I think I ran around 12 or so total. Hands felt fine.
Got to the truck and started to record my time...I couldn't hold a pen 'cause my hands were numb. I guess I didn't realize the blood from my extremities was all in my torso, keeping me warm...I looked like a cripple trying to write, lol.

I wake up at 530 am and am NOT looking forward to it lol. Im sitting here at my desk with my arms shaking just trying to life a glass of water to my face.
Didnt make it till 7. Woke up around 330 in pain. Even chugged down some protein and a water before bed lol. My arms were like freaking concrete and I couldnt hardly move lmao. Oh the joys of working out again.
