I decided to go on a short two miler with my dogs this morning. It was 19 with a windchill of 10....I layered up and actually didn't feel too bad! It's supposed to get colder tomorrow/Friday, so we'll see how it goes - but this morning's run was decent. And i know the dogs enjoyed stretching their legs (they are crated all workday in cold/hot weather)
It is 3, feels like -12. We got 7" yesterday, and our neighborhood is icy. Treadmill for me. Hoping the kids have school tomorrow since they have been off since Friday!
I ran 3 miles in the snow last night, I LOVE running in the snow. It is so much fun. Sadly, the sidewalks probably aren't going to be good for running for the next couple of days. At least I just need to get in a treadmill run today, tomorrow is cross training, and Friday is my rest day.
I made the mistake of looking at the 10 day forecast
Lol, I know we bitch about running in the summer, but I prefer summer training/fall racing to winter training/spring racing. Going from training in the snow to racing when it is warm/hot darn near kills me.
It dropped down to 25 this morning. I don't run below 45 (breathing in the cold air makes me miserable and wheezy). I was able to do it down to 35 last winter, but that's because I eased into it gradually. This year I was out of running commission as the season changed and never got acclimated.

I saw that yesterday - I think SIL and I were a little tipsy when we decided to do our half. I think it was also the false sense of security from having a few really mild winters for the last few years.
We have about a foot of snow right now. I went out for 5 miles the minute the first flake started falling yesterday and it was so miserable! I had to run with 1 eye closed because the wind was pelting snow in my eye. Why does running only look glamorous in pictures!?

i'm that person running in sunglasses when it's pretty much dark to block the snow. i look ridiculous, but it helps!

But how can you see once they get all wet and foggy?
This morning it was -5, but now it's warmed up to +2. No wind thankfully. I am planning to run tomorrow morning early and it could be my first below 0 outing, but as long as there is little wind I feel like I'll be ok.
My poor dog has been having miserable walks the last couple of nights. Although we use mushers secret wax on her feet, even that isn't cutting it. DH is going out to buy her some Pawz booties after work so we can get out there tonight and do her usual route. Other than her feet she loves the snow!
I will never register for another spring marathon. OF COURSE this has to be one of the coldest winter's GA has seen in a while. It was 18 here this morning with a windchill of 5. This is the south y'all. This Georgia Peach doesn't deal well with that- it was the treadmill for me. I really wish I had those Athleta pants now
1 degree, -18 windchill, light snow. I am thankful we didn't get the foot of snow you guys further east did, but these endless dustings are making things slick and yucky.
I've spent a lot of time on the TM this January. I'll run outside with my ice spikes if I've got daylight & wind isn't bad. But in the dark, I just imagine my klutzy self falling & spraining an ankle or something. Stay motivated everyone -- we can do this! Remember, days are getting longer & should be getting warmer soon.

I'm in the south too - and do NOT like this cold weather for running. I love to sweat during the runs, not freeze!
What tuggyruns said goes for me, too, except I have the Athleta tights. I also just got my Hincapie Arenberg fleece winter tights from our main cycling team sponsor. I'll put them to good use on Sat. Tonight's workout will be on the trainer. I'd hoped to go for a walk, but that's not happening. Too cold for me.

It's cold and slushy outside, ick! I could handle the cold but the slush... No thanks. Did a short treadmill run today. Hope this stuff melts off before my Saturday long run.
Guess who's wearing the Athleta tights under her dress pants today.

Its currently a 6* and feels like -10* here. Thankfully I'm in Northern MA and missed all the snow, we got a dusting. We usually get clobbered so I am happy and can deal. It is supposed to get up to 33* on Saturday, yet snow again, so I may try and go out then instead of Sunday which is predicted to be 17*.
