I'm a heat wimp which is funny since I live where it is the same temp as the sun most of the time ;-) The heat kills me. But just like you I will run in it anyway. Running in the heat trumps not running any day.

2013-11-23T21:44:34.629-07:00

I'm definitely a cold wimp! Give me a hot, humid run over a cold, dry one any day of the week! The dry weather is a bummer for asthmatics and there is not one single good thing about winter!

It was 5 F when I ran this morning.

2013-11-21T16:56:57.631-07:00

I'm a heat wimp too, anything over 70 just makes me cringe. I really enjoy getting what sunlight I can in the winter since we are all stuck inside so much then. I feel like I've broken out of the crazy box when I do!

Ugh. I'm with you, I like running in the cold....

2013-11-21T16:45:18.860-07:00

Ugh. I'm with you, I like running in the cold.....but 1 degree? That makes it WAY to easy to stay in my nice warm bed.

Ugh- it won't stop snowing here! It isn't...

2013-11-21T13:33:18.267-07:00

Ugh- it won't stop snowing here! It isn't sticking, just very cold and very wet!

2013-11-21T10:57:17.427-07:00

I've had to change my weather ways this year - we relocated to Oahu and it is warm or hot and humid every morning! I think it was 72 when I went out this morning. I grew up in California, so I've never run in anything colder than about 30, but the warmer stuff has taken some getting use to! But my body has proven to be very adaptable.

2013-11-21T10:43:11.954-07:00

It is summer where running is a problem here - although it doesn't get hot (never over 30Celsius) it does get 95% humidity which makes me run like a zombie. It is then that I will dream of your 20F sunny day!

YOW!!! What a switch in the weather! We just got o...

2013-11-21T10:41:53.487-07:00

YOW!!! What a switch in the weather! We just got our first frost last night, so I can imagine things will be in layers from here on out to April.

Glad you got your share of hugs, Christy! :D

2013-11-21T09:24:51.065-07:00

It is funny because I was born and raise in the Caribbean BUT I love the cold weather especially for running. And if its snowing outside, even better. I love that your co-workers are coming around. It sounds like you are being a great influence on them!

2013-11-21T09:16:13.971-07:00

I would probably say I prefer cold to heat....but there is a point where heat might still win. 1 degree...now that is cold. We are supposed to hit 10 this weekend, and I'm just not ready for it yet. I haven't seen Zuzka...gonna check it out!

2013-11-21T08:57:12.282-07:00

Where do you go to get the free workouts for zuzka. when I bring her up I get the website that charges you.

2013-11-21T08:11:21.634-07:00

1 degree! Yikes! Cool temps and sunshine can be lots of fun to run in, I agree.

I guess I follow Hilaria Baldwin's yoga DVDs on YouTube. I haven't seen many new ones lately, but I do like what she has out there and try to mix it up.

2013-11-21T07:54:58.643-07:00

If I didn't want to run when it was under 40 then I wouldn't be able to run outside most of the year around here! I don't mind the cold. It's all about layers and the right gear. I always get warm 1-2 miles in no matter what the temp is anyways!

2013-11-21T07:52:23.290-07:00

I am a cold wimp (since I think it is me you are talking about above) ;) It rarely gets below 30 here in WA so I am not used to being in that temp. It was 38 yesterday and I thought my face was going to freeze! Glad your co-workers are getting on the fitness train:)

2013-11-21T07:48:58.489-07:00

I am definitely a heat wimp. 20 sounds pretty divine to me as long as there's not much wind or ice. There's a certain peacefulness about it that I love. Like the world is all mine. I start to whine when it approaches 65.

Haha, same here too! Almost 60 yesterday, I wake u...

2013-11-21T06:45:50.309-07:00

Haha, same here too! Almost 60 yesterday, I wake up today to 14 degrees and 3" of snow...but of course, I LOVE IT! :)

2013-11-21T06:28:17.317-07:00

I'd rather run in the cold (maybe not 1 degree) than in the heat. You can dress appropriately for the cold, if its too hot forget it you just have to suck it up and deal with it. I will run in almost any type of weather, but the heat & humidity just sucks the life out of me.

I loved following Bodyrock when Zuzka was a part of it. I stopped loving her workouts as much when she went on her own, although I still have done some of them. I do some of the workouts on the new Bodyrock website (dailyhiit), but I just don't like it as much either. I go back and do old ones and make up my own workouts a lot. I like changing things up a lot so I don't get bored! I also like to do a lot of Crossfit style workouts.

2013-11-21T06:01:33.404-07:00

Yeah, no, I wouldn't be out there in one degree. I've been wimping out more often than not with the treadmill lately, but I'm blaming that on pregnancy since last year I ran in snow storms without any problem.

If someone tried to hug me randomly, I'd probably freak out.

I'm also a heat wimp - I'd much rather run...

2013-11-21T05:55:36.211-07:00

I'm also a heat wimp - I'd much rather run in the cold. But I guess I must add that I've never experienced temperatures colder than 21 degrees down here in South Africa, so you're a lot more hard core than me!

I'm definitely wimpier working out in the heat...

2013-11-21T05:34:28.290-07:00

I'm definitely wimpier working out in the heat but I'm a bigger wimp in general in the cold! Ask my husband...I think I utter the words "Oh my word it's freezing!" multiple times a night!! My fav. workout personality is probably Jillian or Dolvett!

2013-11-21T05:10:50.377-07:00

WTF 1 degree? That's a cruel joke. I hate being hugged so much so a day like yesterday is my worst nightmare, LUCKILY no one hugged me. (No adults, anyway). I'm dead inside.

2013-11-21T04:52:25.636-07:00

I am a cold winp. I really really hate being cold. I can take the heat much better, even though it slows me down.
