Why the weather sucks today
-
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. :)

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.

delete this;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:.

You are merely confirming your insanity! I did all the excercise I am ever going to do when I was in the army, and refuse to run/carry/lift etc ever again.

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:

It has snowed ever day this year with temps being below freezing for weeks. In recent times we have not had this but looks like we could have a 1970s winter in the works. With that said the in-laws have 3 to 5 feet of snow and they are only 2 hours drive to the north.

That is how I felt coming home last night. It took me 80 minutes to go 18 miles. Usually I do this in 25 to 35 minutes.

No running to the bar to get there before last orders? No carrying pints or spirits? No lifting arm to drink? Don't think so

I know for a fact you're still doing plenty of 12 oz. curls, based on some of your late Friday / early Saturday posts.

Given the choice between insane and mundane, I know which one I'll choose every time. ;)
