My motivation this morning was ole' Jack Frost. It was 32 degrees outside this morning when I went for my run. As I stepped outside and took a deep breath my entire body went into shock. Brrrrrrrrr!
I usually run the bleacher stairs after my run, but this morning I needed to warm up my legs and get the blood flowing... and fast. So I sprinted up 6 times and then ran 1 mile. At this point I could no longer feel my nose and decided that was enough.
I could have run more.... I could have done more... but I just can't do it in this cold weather. I'm going to have to find another way to train this winter. Suggestions??

If you can get a gym membership the treadmill is a good place to train during winter...
I have tried 2x now to run outdoors in the temps here and really struggle, and I want till the afternoon when its a bit warmer...
Do what I'm planning to do: just hibernate til spring rolls back around. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
I did a 32 degree run/walk the other day. Damn cold wasn't it?
But I was plenty warm when I was done. I think I over dressed.
I keep thinking on the worst winter days I will be confined to the eliptical and the x-bike.
That will be tough to stay motivated, so my suggestion is invest in good work-out gear designed for colder weather.
I still think being outside is my fav.
hop on your treadmill missy, and watch the weather for any warm days and when they happen - take advantage!!
