Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

No way! I think you guys who run in the cold are nuts. The lowest temperature I've ever run in was 48*, and that was way too cold! When I am driving to the gym, at 5:30 in the morning, I see people running outside in sub-freezing temperatures, and I have to look away. It hurts just to watch!

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
Here in N. Texas, I haven't had to run in anything colder than 28F and pretty much all my runs these days are in the 32-45F range. I even run in shorts once it's above 35F I don't particularly like running in the cold weather, but when I'm done, it feels great knowing that I actaly went out and ran when most people would have stayed indoors. A while back, we had one particularly nasty day (at least by TX standards) and even though I wasn't scheduled to run, I just "had" to go run 1.5 miles just so I know I went out when others wouldn't.
Virginia can't be any colder or snowier than MI has been for the past 2 weeks...get yer butt outside and RUN! k
