    What gear did you end up buying? Let me know how it works out for you.

    I have the Nike women's Ripstop running jacket - got it a few years ago for running in the rain but I am sure they have something comparable today. It is very light weight, has good ventilation and works well in all kinds of rain and wind. It is not however designed for when it is also really cold. You would need to layer a warmer top under it.

    Lucky you! It was too cloudy here. Did you catch the selenelion? (eclipsed moon and sun in the sky at the same time).

    No, I didn't catch that one alive. Strangely enough, on the morning of the Lunar Eclipse, I counted over 20 bunnies, when usually its only about 3-5 bunnies per run. I am convinced the Moon had something to do with that :#

    You see bunnies? cuteness! I never see rabbits, not since I lived in Texas. I almost ran into an enormous porcupine last night though.
