      Ah! But GoT is coming too... lol.

      Do you think this is too much....

      I don't ski or do any type of winter sports. Running is relatively new to me. You all have given me some great shopping tips!

      Thanks! :happy:

      I thought this was a GoT thread to but I'm bumping because I was wondering the same thing.

      Usually if it's 40 and not windy, I do shorts and a long-sleeved T-shirt with gloves (I have light Nike running gloves) and a fleece headband for my ears (mine is Columbia). If it's much colder or if it's windy, I have running tights (I LOVE my Under Armours, but I also have a Reebok pair) and a thermal fleece pullover.

      I have in the past worn 3 layers of running pants but I tend to get chilly willy and I live in Canada!! Toque for sure and thin running gloves. I sometimes wear a bandana to cover my mouth if it's really cold. But REFUSE to run indoors (well unless it's below minus 12 Celsius!!)

      In the past I have always tapered off with exercise due to the winter. I do not want to fall into that habit again. So I have made it a goal to keep exercising throughout the winter and that includes outdoor activities.

      Cleats.

      Seriously, a friend thats been an avid runner for years slipped on a small patch of ice while running earlier this year and broke his ankle. He was in a cast and then a walking boot for months.

      They also make these ice tread chain things you can put over your shoes, or you can google "screw shoes winter running" for tutorials how to use little screws and turn an old pair of running shoes in to ice chomping beasts.

      The only thing that keeps me inside on the dreadmill is freezing rain; it's not a big deal to dress properly to run outside in almost all winter conditions.

      If it's >40F, I'm in shorts... 40-50F I'm likely in a thin long sleeved tech T instead of a short-sleeved tech T (51-65) or tank top (>66).

      When it's 30-40F, I'll wear capris and a slightly thicker long sleeved tech T; if it's windy, I'll throw on a thin windbreaking vest. Probably will throw on some thin running gloves if it's windy, too.

      20-30F, running tights, the slightly thicker long sleeved tech T, and a thin windbreaking running jacket; some thin running gloves and a polarfleece headband to keep my ears warm.

      <20 - running tights, the slightly thicker long sleeved tech T, and a slightly warmer running jacket; also some slightly thicker gloves and either my polarfleece headband or (last resort) a polarfleece running hat. (ETA: where I live, it very, very rarely gets below 15F with windchill.)

      Happy (year-round) running! :flowerforyou:

      Sunglasses help a lot, but ski goggles really work. It all depends on how OK with looking like a goofball you are.

      too dark for sunglasses. I don't mind looking like a goofball, but I find that goggles just fog up on me.

      Depends where you live I guess! I wear a parka, huge boots, mittens, scarf and toque! It can be -40C with the windchill.

      Here in Houston, you can run in a bikini in January.

      I wear shorts until it gets below about 40 degrees, then I switch to pants or tights. I have some nice thick thermal tights that have kept me warm while running in 15 degree temps; I don't think I've run anywhere colder than that. For up top I'll switch to long sleeves once it gets down into the 50s - I like the thermal, waffle knit shirts. And I have a nice cold weather running jacket. Wool gloves and a headband to keep my ears from freezing off when it gets really cold - and a gaiter neck for those extra special days when it dips down into the 20s or below.

      I read the books, so I knew it was coming. I can't even count how many times I threw those books across the room and swore I would never read another!

      I'm in Florida so I'll put on shorts and a sports bra and be thrilled to be running outside again! Come December I might throw a shirt on :happy:
