    According to http://www.weather.com[^], it currently a balmy 32°F (0°C for y'all). Absolutely lovely running weather, with the proper gear (long-sleeved shirt, wind jacket, and wind pants if you're a sissy).

      Beth's threatening to drag me out for a run in 15 minutes and it's a bit cold out there. :~ (not to mention the fact that I haven't run for a few weeks and I'm a bit reluctant to find out how out of condition I am). Once more into the (rather small, as this is Bournemouth after all) snowdrift, I guess. :doh:

        I don't think this place has a shovel LOL. Snow is very unusual here.

                Here the forecast is thundershowers but the nature is quite kind. Pleasant lovely showers that one needs to physically experience and witness to enjoy the bliss of nature.

                    Just a layer of Under Armour ColdGear does me a treat with a shirt over the top, amazing stuff but so overpriced here.

                          It's overpriced everywhere :rolleyes:. I'd like to be able to bike in cold weather, but gear suitable for biking in temperatures below 50°F is expensive. I priced a set of pants/trousers and a jacket at over $500.

                            I keep putting off running because of weather, Christams, New Year etc, it's now nearly a month since I last went running and I'm meant to be running a 10k in a few weeks. Better get out this weekend and put in some miles I guess. Have fun on your run Russ

                                Yep. I've not run in at least a couple of months, so I know that feeling. :rose: It went OK in the end...we did our usual 3.5 mile course and although it was a bit stop-start in places I was getting into my stride and sprinting a little over the last half a mile or so. :)

                                  Damn. Ok well it's more expensive then ;) A long sleeve coldgear top sets you back about £45, when I was last over there I picked up some heatgear leggings for $20! But it's been with me for over 5 years and 8 gridiron seasons, so I've had my worth out of it I guess.

                                    Cycling stuff tends to be that way. You've got to plan for ambient temperature, minus a 20 mph wind chill. I made the mistake of riding one time in 30°F weather in my running gear. I was miserable, so I turned around after ten miles. Four miles from home, I stopped feeling cold[^], which scared the crap out of me.

                                      I'm glad one of us got to run today. I've not run outside since before Christmas. I took the holidays off, and we've had bitterly cold conditions (and a snow storm) since. I'm getting all too familiar with the running routes on the treadmills in our fitness room :sigh:.

                                        Cycling stuff tends to be that way. You've got to plan for ambient temperature, minus a 20 mph wind chill. I made the mistake of riding one time in 30°F weather in my running gear. I was miserable, so I turned around after ten miles. Four miles from home, I stopped feeling cold[^], which scared the crap out of me.

                                        Wow that sounds pretty scary! Put that way, $500 is certainly worthwhile.

                                        He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

                                          Throw another hedgehog on the barbie and we'll think about it! :thumbsup:
