HI Everyone, I am April from MI. I am 45 and really wanting to start running again. I want to lose 30 pounds by summer. Being in MI, I have been using the "It's to cold to run" excuse. So I am looking for some friends to give me the big kick in the butt to get me rolling. Thanks and feel free to add me. Have a healthy week. April :smile:

    I'm from Michigan too! This cold snap we're having makes for nasty running conditions! Are you running indoors or outside?

    Hi I was running outside. Way to cold yesterday though. I decided that I cant use the weather as my excuse or I will have a hard time come spring. I am from eastern Mi. :-)

    I hear that yaxtrax make all the difference for outdoor running in snow and ice. That and layers. There's awesome gear out there.

    Hey! I'm from Michigan too!!! I only run outside as I can't stand a treadmill! I run if it is in the high 20's and above. Anything below that I wait til the next day. I'm on W7D2, supposed to be Friday, but it's looking like high teens so maybe Saturday lol. Good Luck!!

    Hi
    Nice to see other people starting the same time as me. I finished week one today it's going well. I'm in Ireland and the weather is pretty cold right now so I am doing it on a thread mill for now and then il take it outdoors for the summer.

    Feel free to add me and we can help each other along : )
