Yesterday, I started my usual weekend of manage stuff around the house until the sun comes up, then get dressed for my run. It was about 7am when I decide to head out; I opened the door and it must have been 35 degrees or colder. Now for some of you that may have been an awesome run day, but that is just TOO COLD for me.
I have done plenty of runs in that kind of weather, but lets be honest... it just sucks. I have the hats, and pullovers, and extra socks, but being in the 20-30s is just cold. I have to admit that I wussed out and waited until about 9a to go. I was glad I had the option because most weekends I don't. When we're trying to squeeze in basketball games and birthday parties, I have to take my running/workout when I can get it.
If it's cold and that's the only workout time you have, get dressed and go any way. You can layer up and be fine. I actually like running when it's about 40-45 degrees, and you'll find your optimal temperature too. So don't put it off, and use the weather as an excuse. If you keep pushing yourself, it won't take too long to become habit.
You might find that you actually like it.
