Starting a running program in the middle of winter means having to cope with weather. But I need to do it now in order to be at a decent place come spring and warmer weather. But in order to cope there are 3 options: gain access to a treadmill so I can run in shelter, run in the weather, or not run.
Guess what? I don't have access to a treadmill right now. And it is way too early to have the option of skipping, because I need to get the habit of running restored. So I have one option: run outside. Which meant when the storm last night dumped 3-4 inches of wet snow overnight I still had to get up and trudge down to the track. At least my runs are short, and there is a close track where I don't have to worry about hidden ice on sidewalks. So I did it, wasn't easy, running in wet snow is like running on wet sand, really works the legs. But I feel much better having done so (and virtuous.)
