Like Joni O, in the old days when I was in Michigan, as long as it was over 35 degrees in the winter and not icy (shouldn't be, maybe just slushy!), I would put on my Gore-Tex shoes and go for brisk walks of 3-4 miles without a problem. Now I live in relatively balmy Northern California, so unless it's raining cats and dogs, I should be on my bike and on my feet without any valid excuses

I'm in MN like Joni and my dogs and I walk every day, regardless of how cold it is. Of course, we also have to walk whether it's icy or not. I love running in the cold, but if it is icy I will take it to the treadmill. I kept consistent one winter by rewatching my favorite show while running in the treadmill. My biggest problem with winter running is that since it's dark I have greater fear that there's slick spots I didn't notice or remember from our walks, so I don't get to run outside in winter nearly as much as I'd like. But I also don't run anywhere close to as far as you do. 14 miles on the tm would kill me!!

I don't like running outside in weather below 40 degrees so I run/walk on my treadmill. I like to watch workout dvds, Cathe Live, or Beachbody on demand while I'm doing it.
