Yep. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!!

Yesterday Dh and I didn't run--but we did a nice 4 mile walk to run some errands. Tonight we start the running plan again in preparation for the NC half marathon in March.

Just remember to layer up--but also that once you get going, you'll warm up REALLY quickly. My winter running clothes are pretty nasty--but they work--"nasty" meaning old beat up long sleeved shirts that I don't care if I stretch out the sleeves by tying them around my waist if I get too hot. I usually will wear lined running tights, a long sleeved shirt, with a light weight fleece with either a windbreaker jacket or another sweatshirt, hat, gloves and wool socks and I'll start out cold, but as I mentioned earlier will usually work up a good sweat quickly enough.

Nope, 40 degrees is where I draw the line.

I've been running on the treadmill (even though it's completely boring) and trying other activities like zumba and spinning classes.

Ugh, I'm trying to convince myself that this answer should be yes. I have all my running clothes here at work for a lunchtime run, just have to get them on. I really need to run, though, it's been a little over a week and I hate to lose any more stamina.

I'm usually a morning runner, but it's just SO cold in the morning. I'm supposed to run with a running group tomorrow morning at 6am, but the lows are in the 20's with a 10-15mph wind. I'm thinking it's going to be a lunchtime or treadmill run tomorrow.

I've been trying. I ran last Sun, Tue, and Thurs but couldn't make myself do it yesterday. I need to get some gloves. Then I think I'll be okay. I think I'm going to try to join a gym so I can run on a treadmill before work or during lunch (or at least be able to shower after my midday run). I'm trying to start training for the Tobacco Road Half in March so I need to get moving!

yep, just got back from a 4 mile run actually. the wind sucks, but honestly today at 25 degrees felt no different than sat am. before the sun came up and it was 17.

I don't normally run, but I do walk. I actually don't mind it once I have enough layers on. DH on the other hand, wined and complained yesterday while we were walking.

Ditto. Except I didn't do a very good job convincing myself today. I'm glad I ran this past weekend though.

Just ran in a windchill of 26 last night. As long as I can keep the air warm with a face mask, I'm good to go regardless of the temp.
