@jennypapaje & @shrcpr Just wait once you have mastered running in the Rain - it gets better - Winter Running in Sub zero Temps. This is what I looked like last year after one of our coldest running days I believe it was -28C = -19F. I was quite comfortable - except when my eyelash's froze together and I had to use my bare hand to remove the ice
You will notice I actually have the zipper opened at least half way on my coat.
Well, I live in San Jose, CA so I think I'm safe from that.
And, wow, I am impressed! 0 -
Good day to you all. I made it up do Week 5 day 2 when I contracted strep throat and a bad lung infection. I tried to restart at W5D2 and my lungs just weren't having it. No shame in starting over. Week 1 completed. On to week 2!4

w9d1 of c210k.i have to say, running for 40' non stop is so much better than 4 times 10' with 1' breaks inbetween. i just hope i don't get sick. one of my nostrils was completely stuffed last night, i barely got any sleep.1

. @shrcpr If you get Snow/Cold like we do the state-CA- would be in serious trouble - for us its just a bad travel day. 1 -
I was released by the doctor yesterday to start running again, just 2 weeks after shoulder surgery!
I went out after work intending to do w1d1, but felt so good after the first minute that I ran through the walking interval and the next run interval. I ended up doing 4 run intervals of 3.5 minutes with 90 second walks in between. Next time out, I'll skip ahead a couple of weeks.

Just finished day 1, or W1D1 as the cool kids say. Didn't die
Was -1 celsius, so I'm buying jogging pants after work today. And I'll have to locate my Bluetooth earbuds, so I don't throw my phone. But overall, I
feel better than I thought I would.4 -
@Just_Ceci Glad to see you are back at it.
@jennypapaje
That is a sign of amazing progress. I remember the first time I did 10 km without walking - it was a runners high.Was -1 celsius, so I'm buying jogging pants after work today. And I'll have to locate my Bluetooth earbuds, so I don't throw my phone. But overall, I
feel better than I thought I would.
@pdo27789 Spend the time and $$$ to get a good set of Running Tights.
If personal modesty is a concern just throw in a pair of running shorts the same color.
Once you have tights you will be surprised at how warm they are for such a thin material.

Thank you. I'll look into it. Fashion really doesn't matter. At 5am it's still dark, and there's only a few people walking their dogs.
Besides, the shoes I bought are hideously neon blue and florescent yellow. Maybe I'll find matching pants lol Who designs this stuff anyway???
Back on topic, are running tights something I can buy at marks work warehouse? I live in a smaller town and won't get to "the city" until the weekend.
Or are they an easy fitting thing I could buy on Amazon and not worry too much about perfect fit?

Usually any place that sells athletic apparel will have them... I got mine at Wally World. Not as good of a selection as a sporting goods store, but still had a few options.
