How goes running in 2014 so far?

If you're on the northern hemisphere, is the weather impeding your running?

I ran almost 22 km last week, which is a fair amount for me, and I'm way proud.

The weather hasn't been very cold here yet, so running's been fine. Frost is coming though; not looking forward to icy conditions, but I guess my trail shoes will finally get put to the test…

[ell]

I just realized, we're basically in the same time zone, aren't we?
Also, way to go last week!

[ell]

...and another 3.1 miles today :-) (total 18.6)

Also, check you out! you're going to have to up your goal ;-)

Weather here in Germany is moist and not too cold (around 7 °C or 44°F) now if it would only stop raining...

[blnchflr]

Both of you, right?

If I don't get a cold, I'll up my goal :)

Yup, same weather here - depressing; I want the sun back!

[ell]

yep, both of us :-) I'll be dragging Temve along on all the runs for the next 2 months or so until marathon training goes into high gear, then she probably won't be doing the crazy runs with me...
It would be nice to see the sun again...

[thalia]

It's -14F here right now. Yes, my running is impeded. *grump*

[blnchflr]

*Brrr*, that is cold!

[cadenzamuse]

My running would be impeded by the weather, if it didn't get impeded by having an enormous chest cold first. Ugh. Since I have basically not left the bed since Saturday, I have definitely not added more mileage. *grump*

Oh well, at least it's sunny outside...

[blnchflr]

Not fair with the cold, especially not a chest cold :( ! Hope it clears up magically soon!

I didn't set a goal, but I've run about 11 miles since January 1. The weather here is fabulous, more's the pity (we're in a drought): sunny and dry, low 40s at night. Great running weather, although I'm not used to bringing home this much dust in January...

[blnchflr]

That does sound like really nice weather this time of year!

If you want to jump on the mileage challenge bandwagon at any time, let me know :)

[silveraspen]

Ooo, I missed the previous post! I've committed to myself this year to really improve my running, so - I've been aiming to hit 10 miles a week by the end of January and work upward from there. (I guess that'd be 40 miles total?)

I've finished 6.1.

[blnchflr]

Welcome to the challenge :) !

[semielliptical]

3.5 miles.

Yes, the weather is impeding my running! I'm hoping for better weather a bit later this week.

[blnchflr]

Looks like we're headed for a cold snap, so maybe that means warmer weather is rotating towards you! /science

[ilanarama]

Glorious Colorado weather here. Sorry! :-)

As of today I'm up to 39.4 miles for the month.

[blnchflr]

Mmm, Colorado weather…

[nanila]

Haven't made it out yet, so still 0 km. :( Partner has had pneumonia and have been responsible for child care + work. By the time I get home it's night and it isn't safe to go running in the dark alone where I live. But later this week, when he's better and I can work from home, I shall go, yes!

[blnchflr]

Argh - hope things ease up soon!

[nanila]

There is light at the end of the tunnel week! I get to go out tomorrow. \o/

Thank you for the encouragement.
