If temps are near or below freezing, I'm out. I ran a 5K with RTQ where it was around 25 degrees and I thought someone was stabbing me in my lungs.

I'm leaning on not running. 0 degree wind chill is insane and it's just a recovery run and maybe i'll drink some wine tonight instead.
At a certain point you have to ask yourself, "what am I doing this for?" You will probably not die any sooner as a result of the fact you took one day off from running when it was 9 degrees outside. In fact, shit man, you might actually be causing yourself more harm than benefit. Again, if you feel guilty about it, do something inside -- jump rope, use a machine, do a bunch of push ups, etc.
Waht? That's not even that cold. At 16 degrees, my toes got a little cold.
I wouldn't do a Brasky 2AM 9 miler at 16 degrees, but a 30-45 minute run would be fine.

haha yeah that was pretty great running weather for me, I think that I ran a PR that day.
Just wondering whether anyone here has ever run the Cherry Blossom 10-miler in Washington, D.C. The race has a lottery entry, and after many failed attempts to gain entry, I was accepted this year. I would love to read any comments about the race.
I will be 61 on race day, and am currently getting 25-30 miles per week. I don't think I'll have any trouble amping up to 10 miles by race day (April 12), but I'll see! Any training tips for an old guy??
I'm a runner
Went out for a run this evening in 22/feels like 6 degrees. This is one of those 2-5 times per year where I wish I had some sort of thermal running tights or something. I only have one pair of long running pants and my quads and butt always end up painfully cold and numb. I guess once I layered some capris under the long pants, but that's bulky. There are a lot of comments above about not running when it's this cold (especially in NC where it doesn't happen too often and skipping a day wouldn't derail training), but if you do run, what do you wear? It's easy to layer tops but not bottoms.
