It is getting colder down here. It wasn't too bad, but I know there will be some runs in the teens come January.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748250987644502052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-43114796302576678232010-12-08T20:12:45.057-05:002010-12-08T20:12:45.057-05:00Great job gettn out there!

The screw size is #8 x 3/8" NOT 3/4". 3/4" would go through the sole into your foot!<br /><br />If you have shoes with very thin soles than you can go with shorter screws - 5/16" but when you run on pavement the screws may come out. <br /><br />TTerryRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282370929483018777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-89838773083379850922010-12-08T16:29:19.715-05:002010-12-08T16:29:19.715-05:00I screw 6-8 hex head self tapping screws (#8 X 3/4...I screw 6-8 hex head self tapping screws (#8 X 3/4") into the soles of the running shoes (it does not harm them at all - but you cannot walk on your hardwood floors after the run - LOL). <br />With these installed I can run on any surface - even skating rinks. <br /><br />I live in Ottawa, ON so we do run on the Rideau Canal during winter; skaters get upset when we blow by them wearing shoes!<br /><br />For deeper snow I put on X-country ski gaiters over the running shoes making sure the gaiters cover the top of the shoe. <br /><br />TerryTerryRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282370929483018777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-43069148812980150942010-12-08T16:07:43.712-05:002010-12-08T16:07:43.712-05:00Well, you knew you were going to get my two cents....Well, you knew you were going to get my two cents...! Yes, run outside. Treadmill running sucks and will leave you disliking the run more than you already do. <br />Don't run in the tiretracks, they are more patted down and icy. I ran all winter last year and never fell once. It was usually when I'd take a walk break that I would wobble, never while running.<br />Don't run in old shoe's unless you want to end up injured. Wear your regular running shoe's, you'll need a new pair in the spring whether you wear them or not. I use trail runners for the winter, more stability and less mesh.<br />For clothing - base layer pant, wind pant on the bottom. Base layer, mid layer and wind jacket on the top. Bellaclava on the noggin, gloves and trail shoes.<br />JennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386543213832617278.post-48304939526341834532010-12-08T15:00:22.760-05:002010-12-08T15:00:22.760-05:00Uhhhhhh just to clarify.

Your "boys" (and I don't mean your kids) will thank you after the run when you hit the shower<br /><br />I'll run until it gets below minus 30. After that, (*&^%#$# that!!<br /><br />You might want to get some traction for your shoes (check your local running store)<br />http://www.runningfree.com/detail.aspx?ID=12511My Boring Triathlon Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11261163274826554903noreply@blogger.com
