@7lenny7 thanks for the link to the treadmill info., it was very helpful and made me feel more comfortable with running on a treadmill when I don't want to run outdoors. Thank you to everyone for your insight on running on an indoor track, sounds a little more dangerous than I thought! There are so many posts its hard to…

I have a question for the group...if you can't run outside, do you think it's better to run on a treadmill or an indoor track? Or are there options that I don't know about that you think would work? I think I'm one of the few people that actually enjoys running on the treadmill, I totally zone out and it's like a moving…

@MobyCarp congratulations on your race. Kudos to everyone who started off the new year with a good run! I'm going to set my goal as 75 km again this month but I may change that based on the training plan I get from the running clinic I signed up for which starts on Friday. Good luck to you all in your goals for January and…

Thank you for your words of encouragement! I guess I'm going to look at my first race as a learning experience. Things don't always go as planned and I need to be able to accept and adapt to whatever happens instead of panicking and getting down on myself.

Tonight was supposed to be my first time trying to run a 5 km race, but it didn't exactly go as planned. It snowed all day, 10 cm by race time, the temperature was -15*C and wind 23 km/hr. I considered not going because I knew there would be no solid footing, it was in the dark, and the race is in an open area where the…

We had freezing rain today so I ran on the treadmill since the roads were too slippery. For some reason my ticker isn't displaying properly so I didn't include it. My running goals for 2017 are to work up to running about 6 days a week and try running a 10km race in May. I just finished a 5km learn to run program at the…

There is a book by Matt Fitzgerald called "80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower" that explains this theory and talks about different types of runs and how to create a training plan. He explains things better than I ever could and as a new runner I found it very educational. You might want to check…

Today was a bit milder for a run outdoors, -13*C and 13 kph winds, but I really had to drag myself out there. It can be such a pain thinking about what to wear, how to layer, and then hoping I got it right and don't freeze my butt off or do the opposite and sweat like a pig. I was feeling a little sorry for myself until I…

@Orphia your running trail looks awesome! @louubelle16 Congratulations on your HM PB @MobyCarp Congratulations on your win in such difficult conditions, love the antlers and trophy collection. @juliet3455 You win bragging rights for running in the coldest weather, that's just nasty!

Since a few people are wondering how some of us crazy people run in the cold I thought I'd post a pic of all the clothes I wore for my run Thursday when it was -23*C and 34 km/hr winds: Feet - Asics Gel Cumulus 18 GTX running shoes, WrightSock Thermastat Crew 576 lined socks, feet were toasty warm, the socks are warm and…

Today was my coldest run outside so far, -24*C with 31 km/hr winds. Luckily I layered up enough that the cold and wind weren't too bad, although it took 3 layers over my ears to keep them warm. I think I managed to avoid frozen eyelashes like some of the others here because I wear glasses, but my nose was so red after my…

@juliet3455, @7lenny7, @shanaber thank you very much for your advice. It never occurred to me to use layers to cover my ears like the rest of my body. :* I live in central Canada and will check out the Mark's Work Warehouse near me and I'll see if I can find some buffs on sale after Christmas (I need to recover from all of…

@Elise4270 I love the violin picture, your cat is so cute. After hearing about my sister taking up the trumpet and you taking up the violin I decided to try taking up the clarinet. I haven't played since I was in high school 30 years ago but I often wish I had stayed with it. Anyway, I ordered a clarinet yesterday and I'm…

I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra, they must have been amazing to see live! I think it's great you're taking up the violin. My sister is learning to play the trumpet and just joined her local New Horizons Band for free lessons. She loves it. I hope you enjoy your violin just as much. Date Km Today - Km for Dec. 12/1 6.17…

I don't think location has anything to do with it. I'm in a couple of challenges where people are in Scotland, Malaysia, Korea, all over the place. I think you can still get into the Lord of the Rings Challenge even though it already started. If you're interested you could post on the discussion or contact one of the…

Hi I would love to join. House Stark sounds good since I live in the north, but I would be up for any team that needs someone.

I found eating 1/4 cup of Original Allbran daily and increasing my water intake took care of my problem naturally.
