I can see myself getting sucked in but I don't know if I want yet another form of social media to overtake my life!!<br /><br />Hmmm if I am training for something and there is a scheduled group run, there isn't a temperature I won't run in. If it's a solo run, I might bail but that's also because of the dark and the usually crappy snowcovered sidewalks. With the availability of the treadmill in my basement, I have more options. <br /><br />Right now, unless someone walks with me, I would rather do an indoor workout than brave this nasty cold. Again I have the treadmill and other workout DVDs to keep me active so I don't feel the need to endure the cold. Plus you don't stay warm the same way walking as you do running.Nicole @ Haute Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567153986505971579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-46171820097650747942011-11-20T19:06:38.910-07:002011-11-20T19:06:38.910-07:00It was seriously cold out this weekend and it'...It was seriously cold out this weekend and it's only going to get worse!

I need to invest in some winter weight gear so that I can drop my temp threshold.<br /><br />I've put off the twitter thing for a long time. I see how it kills the blogs.

My first run was in 25F temps, and that didn't stop me. We'll see what happens if I approach negative numbers, though. That might be enough to get me on the treadmill -- especially since I worry about ICE, like Keith mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-40986223963116054332011-11-20T09:57:50.215-07:002011-11-20T09:57:50.215-07:00No twitter for me.

It depends on the temperature and wind, but once it's down around -35 or 40 I say enough. I remember reading about a woman that slipped on some ice and banged her head on her car as she went down. They suspect it wasn't that serious an injury, but she froze to death in her driveway before she woke up again. I'm more likely to pass on a run because the footing is treacherous.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.com
