I think that proper dress is true, but only when talking about running in the cold. You can dress for runs in extreme cold. It truly is all about the gear, and understanding how to dress for particular cold conditions.For me, a large part of the weather struggle is being appropriately dressed. I once heard that there’s no bad weather, just bad preparation for the weather.
I’m sure it’s similar to when I was running on Martha’s Vineyard.@Waiting2goback sorry to hear about your grandmother
@Professor_Cookie trail running anywhere other than Florida looks like a blast. Trails around my house are a joke.
It was a fun time in Devil’s Garden.

The heat is another story. It is still about preparation, but it is more about knowing yourself and listening to your body. Heat + Humidity = slower runs, but those slower runs can be even more beneficial to our fitness than the much faster runs in cooler months.
Those of us who have to transition through all extremes every year ride a roller coaster.
This sounds like an out take of a #puremichigan campaign!ATTQOTD: I've run in everything between below zero to 90+ temps with every kind of precipitation. The most memorable was a 25K race that started with snow flurries and ended with rain & hail...in May.
Steak and French Fries sounds like the best day ever for her!Update on our pup:
This morning was a bad morning for her. It is obvious to us that it is her time. Tonight the dog eats steak, she had french fries on our way back from the vet and hung her little puppy head out the window as happy as can be. Going for best day ever! type of deal for her. I just hope I can keep it together for the kids this afternoon.
I'm so sorry! I'm sure everyday with you guys has been the best day ever for her! Hugs.Update on our pup:

Attqotd: I’ve run in several snowstorms. The coldest I’ve run in was 4 degrees. Yesterday was the sketchiest run I’ve done, so far though. Cold weather I wasn’t totally prepared for, snow, slickrock, exposure, scrambling, jumping off ledges.

8.3 miles, 1000 feet of vert. One moderately rolled ankle, and the realization that I hate my new hydration pack. It takes too much work to drink from it when I am sucking wind.
