[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I lived in MI, my favorite time to run was on cold winter nights. I wasn’t in pain on the run. The movement kept me warm, so I didn’t have to wear anything heavy, just leggings and a light jacket and a head wrap to cover my ears. I felt healthy and invigorated.

The only issue I ever had was warning up when I got home. My skin would be so cold, it would burn if DH touched me. I’d just change into warm clothes and have a cup of hot tea, and 30 minutes later I was back to normal.

Why does it bother you if people run in the cold? [/quote]

I run myself and have done so in weather that was in high 30s and low 40s.  I was pretty uncomfortable so I can't imagine what it would be like to run outside today.  I didn't say it bothered me.  I said I didn't see a point.  If you live somewhere where it's going to stay cold for months, I get it.  You just want to get outside.  But in DC it's going to get much warmer over the next few days.  I would just skip the run on the coldest day so far.  But to each their own.[/quote]

your cut-off is the high 30s??  In the high 30s I'm generally still peeling off layers midway through my run.  I don't even really start to consider the cold until around 25.  [/quote]

I know, right? I wonder if OP has thyroid issues or proper warm weather gear.

And OP, it clearly bothered you enough to start a thread and assume everyone running today is in pain. Some people enjoy it. Maybe you have a higher upper limit. If I overheat, I faint. I don’t like fainting while I’m out running, so depending on the humidity, I might run inside when the temp gets in the 80s. But I don’t start threads or act like people who run in the heat are odd for doing so. If anything, I’m jealous that they can handle it and my body can’t :) [/quote]
