    More than just running fast or your breathing in the cold, how do you guys get yourselves out the door when it's so cold? I'm from AR and it was still 82 degrees here earlier this week but a frigid 40 degrees at 5:00 yesterday (yes, that's frigid for AR!) And it's just cold, it never snows, so it's not even pretty, lol. I just can't even think about staying outside in the cold but I want to do a half marathon in March so I need to learn to get used to it. Anything you use to motivate yourself to run in the cold besides the usual running motivations??

    If you don't mind me asking, what race and what style of race is this? I'm not too far from the Chicago area and always looking for new challenges

    It's called the Chicago Perfect 10! It's the first annual this year and it's right along Navy Pier! Maybe I"ll see you there :smile:

    After I purchased my cold gear for running I was really motivated to run. Something about a new workout outfit gets me excited to exercise.
