The wind chill was -9 this morning. Treadmill day for me. I know some of you can handle those temps, but I remember running outside on a 12 degree day and deciding that was my limit. I'm a winter wimp.
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.
I'm going to run to the closest sporting goods store at lunch and see what I can scrounge up. I have 20 this weekend and it's still supposed to be FREEZING! I need something to keep my legs warm. Sometimes being built with Gumby legs can really be a pain!
It was 5' with a -13' windchill this morning and it "warmed up" to 10' with a 8 degree windchill as of a few minutes ago. We have between 5-6 inches of snow outside.

I ran on my parents treadmill this morning (in NJ). Running in 8 degree temps and dodging ice patches is some BS. Nope, not going to do it. I'm used to southern winters now.
This morning it was 16 degrees and with the windchill felt like 3. Lucky for me, it's a non-running day. Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be cold too and I have a 20 miler on Friday.

It was a high of 35 here today. I am not one to shy away from a cold run, but I wasn't feeling it today. Which is a bummer since it is going to get even colder the next few days. I did do my T25 though. Indoors.

Okay, I just looked at the temps for my "long run" on Saturday - 23-25 (feels like 11-12). I'm shivering just thinking about it. Would I be a gigantic wuss if I just ran on the treadmill for the next week? This is South Carolina, dammit; we're not cut out for this.
I'll be running on the treadmill for at least the next 10 days. Half-marathon training on a treadmill blows.
This. Riding my spin bike today because I can't take another treadmill run. I keep modifying my training because I have time to do so. Pretty soon I won't have time! Also MD gets hot and humid so I can complain this summer too
It was 3 at the bus stop this morning with ridiculous negative wind chill. it's a gym day for me anyway, so at least I don't have to think about whether I'm being wimpy. I might need a shirt for the gym that says marathon training because I'm starting to get the crazy cardio girl looks.
I've been on the treadmill all week. It's too damn cold and icy. Plus I can keep my blackberry nearby since I've teleworking. The last time I went for a weekday run, my boss needed me and I wasn't available.
I'm so happy we bought it. It's been a life saver this winter.
This morning at 5:45 it was +1, with a supposed "feels like" -12, but I felt great out there, except for my face (only exposed part) for the 1st 1/2 mile or so.
Running on the packed snow with my Stabilicers makes my feet feel so heavy though, by 3.5miles I was happy to be home. Hopefully when I can run without them I'll feel like I'm flying.
