  • I am glad to know others face the same thing I do! I have been running outside in DC and some days if it is cold, as soon as I stop running I start coughing. I thought it was just me.

  • It used to be (about 3 years ago) a simple weight, age and sex.

  • Good for you! I am in the DC area with 20 inches on the ground. I tried to run but after 7 minutes (I had my timer going) I came home. I couldn't handle the ice and snow. I didn't want ot fall and break an arm! I came home and ran circles in my middle floor. As I passed the windows I wished for clear roads!:happy:
