Over the last 26 years of my life that I have run I have only had one main complaint about running in the cold, and that would be - my hands get cold – not matter the gloves. But not any more! My aunt made these little “woolies” that I have been using and they have been wonderful! My hands are toasty warm (for once). No more painful “thaw-outs” in warm water.

Ya know, running outdoors is really very enjoyable and if the truth be told, I prefer to get outside in the cool crisp fresh outdoor air exploring the great outdoors then being stuck indoors on a “dreadmill”. But I find it does help to have the right gear. Another great thing that I could not do without in cold weather is my earwarmer/headband. These keep my ears warm and let the heat still dissipate from the top of my head. When it is snowing I like to wear my hat so I don’t “blink” myself to death. Another thing to consider while running in the snow is your shoes. I like to wear “trail running” shoes. These are usually a lot more weather proof than your regular “air-y” running shoes. These “trail shoes” also have better traction. If you have never given outdoor running a chance you might want to give it a try. Besides, if you are training for a race it is most likely run outside so the best training is to run outdoors too.

Run Happy,

Wow - I am super excited!  I have meet the qualifications standards for the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships to be held in Burlington Vermont on August 18, 2012.  I am registered for the olympic distance event and really excited to have the opportunity to go again and try to qualify to represent the USA at the World Championships in London, England in 2013.  woot!  woot!  This is the same venue as last years event that I was a part of.  I had a great experience last year and am looking forward to an even better experience in 2012.  Click here to read about my 2011 experience.  I hope to improve my performance and don’t plan to have any “broken arm” set backs  (grin).  I will be representing my team:  Team Blonde Runner (TBR).  Let the work begin.
