Ran a new route today. It was windy @15, the temp was 38, and it was raining. We were scheduled for a 14 mile so out my son and I went. We did great on our very hilly route until about mile 8. We started getting pretty cold. At mile 9 we had planned to stop and drink a little. I couldn't get my lid off the bottle at all and my son had trouble. We didn't stop long but it was enough to sap the heat out of us. We continued for another mile until I was numbing in my feet and my hands were useless (couldn't put my soaked gloves back on). I had to call my husband and he picked us up at mile 11. It took 20 minutes for my very painful hands to be useful and I was shivering so much we went home and got in a hot tub.
In analyzing what went wrong, we learned that we need better protection i.e. wind-stop gear and water resistant socks and we learned a valuable lesson about stopping at all. We will carry a little glucose with us next time as well. I've been running for many years, but long distance runs are still relatively new.
