Snowshoe Running was pretty frosty but Brenda Ross and I got in 4.2 km in -25C weather. This marks the 57th day if our run Streak...I agree with Steve...no threshold running...
Jog with the dog. I don't usually run every day so she is really enjoying this! 6.22 at 1 hour 13. (how can such a little dog have such a big bladder!)
@Alicia Chase from the multiple times I have participated in this event I shied away from "hard" running to consistency. To me there lies the ability to get out the door for all 8 days with no off days.
4 mi. today mostly TRP, 15 deg. with near 0 windchill. Like everyone else, no hard running when it's this cold. Upside, one of my daughters got me some North Face gloves for Christmas, hands never cold this morning.
Had a hard time getting motivated. Ended up with an hour on Zwift and a 2 mile on the dreadmill. It was just too cold - mentally yesterday to get outside. I'm going to give it a go this morning. It's 0 without the wind.
Also 4 miles with a couple friends this morning for split run #1. I looked hard for a weather report below 32, but they were all 33 or 34, so no extra point. Hats off to y'all suffering in the extreme cold!
@Alicia Chase, read that article from runner's world... it will crack you up! anyway, we are still having a balmy 34 to 39 degree weather during my runs here in Austin. I'm in the burbs so it is a little colder here than downtown but nothing like Cadyville! God Bless You! and stay warm!
@Beeline, that's it one I say one mile girl. And you want to take on that weak Texan team:-) .Well your gonna have to pick it up a little to see the Steer' s a## of the Texan's:-) :-) :-) . Was able to get out this morning and run a 10 KM up north here in Hypothermaggen land a balmy -22 wind chill feels like -38. So no one here can ask about temp pts OK peeps. Well that's it for today keep up the good work y'all ;-)
It was 10 degrees here at the Jersey Shore this morning. I know it’s not as cold as Canada and upstate NY, but I’m still not going outside for a run. Keep the Point

I agree. Maybe a bonus point or two if the temp is below 15 or something like that. 30 right now would seem like summer time!
It is -38C with windchill this morning here in Ottawa....I am searching for a buff before going to run outside....I’m thinking we Canadians need double points for unusually cold weather temps. Just saying.
Split run #2, 6 mile progression with 1 at threshold; 7 pts for Texas.
I cant imagine those wind chills.! ❄️❄️❄️. I'm traveling to the northeast this weekend and debating what to do with my 12 miler planned for Saturday...dress for it, dreadmill, or do it tomorrow instead?!
@Patricia Rosen Great article, too funny. Just discussing with my chiropractor today that neither of us can stand running with our mouth covered. And my lungs have never frozen @Steve Ross I know, pathetic. But, had to make the choice to live and fight another day. Tomorrow should be an 8-pointer.
Put in 5 miles in 21 (feel like 16) degrees this evening, all at Z1 pace = 6 points 12/27 - 7 miles @TRP in 30 degrees = 8 pts 12/26 - 5 miles @ TRP = 5 pts 12/25 - 3 miles = 3 pts
Another 3.2 at 20 degrees F this afternoon. Not as bad as yesterday, mostly because I wore thermals under my two shirts and two pairs of pants. Heading down to NC for the weekend and looking forward to running in 30 - 40F temps for a few days. Only one more day running in this wicked cold.
@Alicia Chase. Excellent work for a Team Sub 32! Meh what’s a little frost bite between team members. I will be running outside later....still frosty -35C with wchill but once ya get going..not bad

I had watched the movie Wind River so I was worried about you folks running in close to zero weather till I read this article from runners world.

Nice work everyone!
