Jogging Newbie

I jogged for 35 minutes straight a couple of days ago and I wanted to dance I'm so proud of myself. I really want to keep my momentum going bc I have always wanted to be a jogger and I feel like I am finally well on my way to becoming one! I am afraid of winter though, how do I keep getting my runs in, when I am facing a Wisconsin winter??

    Congrats!

    I'm in Alberta Canada so we also get nasty winters here as well. Just layer up and run when you can. I've learned that I can comfortably run in temps as low as -25; anything colder than that makes my skin hurt lol. Be careful when it's icy and expect your pace to be slower.

    I sometimes run at the indoor track nearby when it's too snowy/icy/cold out. Get out as much as you can now, fall is the nicest time of year to run :)

    Im new to running and enjoy it very much. I totally understand your fear of the Wisconsin winter ruining our running routing.:sad: It's starting to feel cooler as the days go by :cry:
