    I'm a big pansy. I keep my fitness indoors unless it's 55-60 degrees or above.

    Just got in from a 30 min. run - lightly snowing and windy outside. Don't get me wrong....I DO NOT like cold weather and can run in all kinds of heat and humidity. I just hate running around in circles on an indoor track. I've been out all winter, picking and choosing, because I don't do snow (on the ground) and ice! I did jog one leg of my circuit backwards (carefully) today, because the wind and snow were blowing in my face. Come on, Spring!!

    Unless it is super cold or really icy(I grew up in Iowa so my definition of cold is different than most Indiana natives), I run outside. I can't stand the dreadmill so running outdoors is my preference.

    Is Iowa colder than Indiana? I thought they were pretty much the same latitude....

    Iowa is colder and more snow than Indiana, we lived there for 3 years, hated it.

    40-60 degrees is perfect running weather to me.

    They are in pretty much the same latitude but I have noticed since we have lived here that Indy is much warmer than Iowa. Here we hardly drop into the single digits and I don't know if we have ever been in the negative digits without a wind chill here. And we don't get nearly as much snow as we did when we lived in Iowa or Chicago. Of course we have only lived here for 5 years.

    SURELY it'll be warm enough for everyone now.... what with the nice 50 temperatures coming up :)
    I've been out quite a few times in the last couple weeks.... 20s-30s are pretty nice as far as I'm concerned with proper gear on..
