I'm going back and forth between a merino buff and neoprene face mask - they both suck. Suggestions are welcome but I'm sure they will suck too!
From your avatar I just assumed you always wore the neoprene mask. Does it have to be warm? If not, consider a dust mask type deal or even the doctors masks.
Cool and clear here again - upper 30s. 16.2 miles for the morning. Still working on that 6,000 mile annual goal. About 640 to go with only 6 weeks left, some of them short.
Friday!
