Warm run today, I'm not looking forward to the warm temps at all. I think I much prefer the cold! Tho I can leave the windchill :/ 2/01 - x-train 2/02 - 4 miles that came nice and easy 2/03 - nada 2/04 - 3.4

@_nikkiwolf_ haha!! The only one who has said anything like that to me about running outside is my husband :disappointed: You guys on the other hand are wonderfully supportive! @7lenny7 love your winter warrior running stories! So glad you and your partner are ok. Running in snow and its many challenges eh!

I was not going to run today even tho it was a run day. Nope. So I laced up and ran. And this running thing is getting easier and easier. LOVE it. 2/01 - x-train 2/02 - 4 miles that came nice and easy

I'm going to aim for 50 miles this month. I'm not sure how many miles my 10k trainer will add up to and with running every other day I'll be starting on the second and ending on the twenty-eighth. So that's about 3.5 miles every second day, totally doable! No matter how it works out, I'm excited!

@_nikkiwolf_ gorgeous pics and great story. I was considering one of those little bottles too, now I'm not so sure! Was a warm run today! 2c (35f) with no wind. I was ready to take off my running jacket and just wear the baselayer and sweater, lucky I was done running by then. 1/01 - 4.7 walk/run treadmill 1/02 - rest, did…

That's a brilliant way to think of it because I will be running half marathons and marathons. Maybe train the 10k first. Genetically I think I can do it, lol.
-
Thanks all for the 'grats on my 5k, I'm still stoked :) I read a post that said most who do a 5k training program can't actually run the 5k at the end, SO glad I didn't read that before I did it! @9voice9 Please tell me you're joking... @Amandajs232 I've run outside a handful or so of times now, and I too have decided any…

I was watching out for snowplows this morning as well, figured I would hop to the other side of the road if necessary. @Virkati thank goodness you're feeling improvement! Here's to a speedy recovery. @ceciliaslater that sounds scary, but glad you have an idea about whats going on, speedy recovery to you too!…

I really love reading all your posts. I enjoy hearing about the struggles, the challenges and the excitement. How can I not imagine the day I feel like running for 10miles and just happen to do 15 instead? Or taking my insane schipperke with me for a run, or worrying about not being able to run for medical reasons.. Just…

Wow what a difference two days make! It was 20+ degrees warmer today, a positively balmy -3c (32f ish) I wore what I did for the -22 run and should have doffed a layer. So I knew that today I was supposed to run for 20 min (zombies5k), and I knew there was no way I would be able to do it but still decided to give it the…
-
Was really freaking cold today, feels like -22c (-7f, is that right?) My feet were cold until it was time to run and thighs weren't too bad, put on a longer pair of shorts over top my leggings. Usually I remove my hood part way thru the run, but keep a head band/ear warmer on, as I get really warm but because of the wind,…
-
Oh, poor poor treadmills, getting such a bad rap. @juliet3455 I thought i smelt something... @lporter229 Thanks for your insights, I will not compare running outside and 'using' the treadmill, entirely different beasts it seems. I don't think I'll run outside when the windchill pushes harder then me, and I have no clue how…
-
The sun was shining and there was no wind so I took my run outside this morning. The roads do have a layer of snow but not too bad. My thighs get wind chilled even tho my legs don't feel cold. I think I will have to wear a second light layer for pants, my shorts over leggings didn't cut it. Temp today was -12c (11f) I run…

Newbie welcome @jayskitz ! @9voice9 Huge congrats on your first HM and PB, how awesome! @juliet3455 Damn that's cold, good for you. And it's even colder when you're walking, double nice of you to keep the other runner company. @MorningGhost14 You're playing the weather lottery, lol. winning? Today was a rest day for me,…

Oh, man, I sure hope you get it sorted :( What an awful thing you're going through! The last time I had food poisoning the cramps lasted intermittently for a while after the initial tainted food had passed. My stomach did indeed need time to heal.
-
The weather was relatively mild today (-11c with no windchill, very damp) and inspiration just swept me away and I ran outside for the first time since my shin splints healed! It was great, I was toasty with a pair of go warm leggings altho I might throw on a pair of shorts over top, my thighs were a touch frigid and skin…

I usually run in the morning, the house is cooler (cold) and I'm the only one home. But this morning I felt very sluggish, my calves were very tight and the house was freezing, so skipped the run. But I really like running, so I decided I would try after work. UGH. The house was way to warm and it felt like I was running…
-
@Amandajs232 I have resistance (read: cowardice) to running outside as well. I'm always scouting out the road to check conditions (snow covering ice lately). One day I will run outside. @WhatMeRunning You describe it perfectly, I love those evenings. And then hoping into the hot tub while the snow flakes continue to fall.…

@Ohhim awesome report of the race, thank you so much for all the details and great job! @7lenny7 there was a lady out walking her dog this am and I swear she did the same thing. Her jacket was black with black hood and fur and her face, entirely black as well too funny. We had similar weather here this am, not really cold…

Wow guys, such a simple tip to run a few laps outside but all I could think of was warming up on the treadmill then heading out! I will keep a clothing journal as well. Will be helpful to override those moments when i SWEAR it's going to be too cold..cause it will be @MobyCarp , I just know it! ;) @_nikkiwolf_ I haven't…

@runner_girl83 Congrats on your race and medal!! @MobyCarp awesome on that first placement, love that they all can't wait for your birthday! @5BeautifulDays I want a Dr. Who medal!

Wow I can't imagine running in some of the places you guys are talking about, it sounds incredible. And the heat.
