I'm just in the middle of it, and laughing. Good hints, but I can't imagine how funny it would look like wearing all this accessories and preparing ao many things to sleep. Does your wife sleeps with you? Thanks for sharing.

Can't agree more. I'm 38 yrs old too, and running on winter nights with rain was just a matter of wearing the proper clothes.
