I agree with you on the above points. The laundry alone about does it for me. The red and black tights look cute which reminds me how having something cute to wear helps get me out the door.

You're right, that picture does look cold! You are proof that runners will do anything to keep running! I'm not sure I could face that on my own, but I might be able to trick myself into doing it with that "just one mile" method. And then, once you're all bundled up, you might as well keep going!

I'm glad that running is possible in such cold weather - someday I may live in a cold climate. It's not even that cold here in Texas, but winter running means more laundry and more time to layer up, too. Great pictures today!

So true. All of it. Your runs look more brutal than mine somehow!! But you get sun and I don't. Whomp whomp.

Also, frostbite lungs?! How does that even happen? Have these people not heard of balaclavas or neck gaiters?!

You have become one of my favorite running bloggers. You are so strong an determined to run in uch cold weather and it is so inspiring. I think of you every time I debate on going for a run if it's less than 40 degrees. Our winter has been pretty mild so in the 30 is kind of cold here and in the 20's I won't run.

I agree that winter running can be beautiful. I love the scenery and the sky!

Funny, sometimes I'm the opposite -- I look out & it looks so cold, then I get out there & it's not so bad after all.

But your winter makes ours seem extremely mild. I'm sure all your running in the snow will sub for the missed speedwork!

We have not had much of a winter this year but I am with you on the double laundry. Also with a teenage son who is in lacrosse season the laundry can get very piled up around here

It seems like another lifetime when I had a real winter running season...and I live in Iowa LOL. Granted, I much prefer the summer temps (and road conditions), but this winter has really been strange in terms of snow (or lack there of). I know the "real" winter is probably just lurking...

You've got cold and snow, we're hitting record warm temps this weekend. Climate change? Nah....
