TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...
If you can, try to run in the sunlight. The street is often less slippery than the sidewalk, and less apt to hide weird bumps. Jog slowly. Two layers on your butt under 30 F. They make ice pick thingys you can strap on to your shoes, I might try those this year but haven't yet. The wind makes a HUGE difference under 30F. 30F and 5-10mph is fine. 30F and 20+ mph gets tough. Cover your ears, gloves (with mittens over them under 20-25F), and get a neck warmer that you can pull over your chin. Or go full balaclava. Try things out, but you'll be surprised how 2-3 layers are enough on your torso. I always wear a shirt and thick sweatshirt under 45F, and only add an additional undershirt < 25F.
ReplyDeleteThat's incoherent, but hopefully it helps.
Wool socks. Gloves. It might take a few runs to figure out the layering (too much or not enough). I also have Buffs on my neck to cover my nose when very cold/windy. My lowest outside running temp is 25 deg, yours may be different.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably super individual but you will probably find temps and weather conditions affect you in ways you don't expect. It's baffling to me that I wear a tank top and shorts in 55 and sunny, but two shirts and pants in 45 and cloudy.
ReplyDeleteI recommend you take a taxi.
