Running Help!

I want to start running but its still really cold out here in VT still. I dont have access to a gym. Anyone have any creative ideas as to what I should do?

Thanks for your help!!!

Whats cold? It's snowing here in Michigan! But I did run outside 2 weeks ago when it was 40 deg. Bundle up with moisture wicking clothing. Warm up inside and strech and head out doors!!!

on man its been 0 degrees out. and the sidewalks are dangerous... running in winter boots ... not sure if its worth the risk of injury. :-) 40 degrees sounds wonderful!

okay, yes I agree I wouldnt be running outside either!! I don't run outside unless it is 30 (wich is not very often here) The sidewalk still had a big of snow on them when I went out so my feet got wet and I had to watch my step, but it felt so great to get out there. So as soon as the weather breaks go for it!! Until then I suggest working on your cardio to build up endurance. Running will do something completelly different to you (it does me anyways!), but at least you won't be completely winded.

I feel ya hun, I have been eager to go running outside and don't have access to a gym either. I have been doing hardcore cardio workouts to build my stamina. I tried running the other day when it was above freezing, problem was that it had created a layer of ice covered in water. I ended up doing the splits! Thankfully I did not hurt myself! I'd keep indoors until the weather breaks.
