I was busy yesterday and forgot to get out and do a bike ride or run so figured I better get out today for some exercise. No way I was taking a mountain bike ride so I was out in the yard for a bit and didn't really feel that cold. So I decided to try the run anyway. It wasn't pretty or fast, but I managed to get in a nice 20-25 minute run and the wind and cold didn't really bother me at all. I had trouble getting stretched out though. Getting old sucks! :nod:

screw cold. I ventured outside around 11:30, and that was it. Been under a blanket here ever since.

No, I didn't even notice the cold air in the lungs. The nose running constantly sucks. I'm just trying to make sure I do some exercise during the winter to keep myself in somewhat decent shape. I slacked off this past summer and played too much golf so I barely got out on the mountain bike maybe once a week and I can feel it. I used to play volleyball once a week in the summer but this year our group fell apart so I didn't do that at all. In the past 13 days I've gotten in 3 runs and 2 bike rides and I can already feel the difference. The lack of daylight after work and the cold temps suck but today was a good sign if I can deal with these conditions.

yeah i want to get into mountain biking...but recently i started swimming at my university. DAM that is excersize right there, not only does it work pretty much all the muscles in your body but it gives you a ridiculous cardio workout if u swim fast paced.

swimming is awesome, zero impact on your joints too.

Yes, swimming is the best workout but finding somewhere to swim in the winter becomes a challenge.
