I just started running at the beginning of the year and I've loved it! I ran my first 3 5k's over the summer and bettered my time each time. I'm a really slow runner, so my goal for next year is to just keep getting faster. I have a treadmill so I don't run outside much...especially in the cold!! Brrr....
I started running around March/April. I ran a 5k in May and then again in July. I live in southern California so I don't really have to worry about super cold weather. The coldest it's been lately is about 55 degrees. I wear capri length pants, a tank and a long sleeve shirt. Typically I push the sleeves up after about a mile. I'm finding it so hard to stay on the wagon with the cold weather! I much prefer warmer weather so my lungs don't feel like they're going to come flying out of my chest.
