Forums >General Running>First long run
OK so my girlfriend and I are training for the San Diego marathon and today is our first "long run". it's only 7 miles, but it's cold and snowy outside. I hate the cold! Who doesn't, right? Well, I just wanted to know what people do to push on when the weather conditions are not ideal. Wish us luck! ~Quinn

I'll take a cold run any day over one in the hot and humid weather of summer. You can always add layers as the temps drop but you can only take so much off in the summer. The only thing I don't like about the cold is slush covered roads. My last three runs have been in ankle deep slush and it looks like tomorrow will be the same. It does give the legs a good workout though. Tom
