Well, it was half a decade ago that I started wearing “running gloves”. I was motivated by the need to keep my hands warm on chilly 10K training runs. After some experience with the gloves I realized that since I’m not shoveling snow and my hands are starting to sweat like mad I probably don’t need “Sgt. Preston’s” style dog sled gloves. The next running session I switched to very lightweight cotton gloves. As I suspected I froze for the first 3/4 mile but then a miracle happened, my body started to warm up from the run, I didn’t need the gloves anymore. Since the gloves were only a few bucks I thought for a moment to toss’em. But being in favor of a clean environment, I took them home and washed them. Do you know the care instructions for cheap cotton gloves? It goes like this, put the gloves on, wash the gloves in warm water with mild bar soap, squeeze the water out, carefully remove the gloves so as not to stretch them, hang them from the clips on a pants hanger to drip dry, voila. So, you obviously want my glove recommendation, here it is, I wear Runy Urazzoff Enviro-Safe disposable running gloves. They are not treated with chemicals like all other gloves. I buy them through our online store http://runawaysstore.org/store/urazzoff_running_gloves.html, a thing about them is after a dozen or so wearings it becomes a quest to see how long you can wear’em before they fall apart. Happy running, don’t foget to put your gloves on!
