This morning, I happened upon this RunnersWorld forum, Idiotic things Non-runners say about running. You have to read it, it's fantastic! As runners, triathletes or just simply adrenaline junkies, we've all had heard crazy things from our non-exercising friends, family members or co-workers (regarding our exercising habits). Comments such as, "How far is THIS marathon?" or "Why would you run? you can get there so much faster in a car.". Then there's the occasional public service announcement such as, "well, you know you're going to have really bad knees if you keep this up". Personally, from my mom I always get, "When are you going to just give it a rest?" and from Dad its, "Are you crazy? Isn't running in this cold weather really bad for your heart and lungs?" :)
Well... stay "crazy" out there! ...And have fun reading this forum!
Today's training: 5-6 miles with RUNNYC! Followed by 4 striders.

How far is a Marathon?

Here's something to tell your dad: running in sub-freezing weather actually has health benefits. Running for more than 30-90 minutes in cold weather boosts your immune system and helps to fight off cold and infection. Take THAT, dad!
I usually prefer to run in the cold.
