The cold is brutal though. I cough and my throat hurts even to go out and sled with the kids, which is one of the reasons I'm on a running hiatus until I can figure out an indoor solution. The other reason is cause I'm a wimp and hate the cold. :)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666698466621998082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-46831140899254680522010-12-10T13:23:06.840-07:002010-12-10T13:23:06.840-07:00Keep it up and good luck with running!Keep it up and good luck with running!Detroit Runner(Jeff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03340721120260257973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-14621099442364716432010-12-05T16:00:49.394-07:002010-12-05T16:00:49.394-07:00I live in a pretty warm place now, but when I was ...I live in a pretty warm place now, but when I was younger and experiencing colder temperatures the air would cause pain to my throat. It would dry it out and I could kind of taste blood. Sounds awful, but for some reason I didn't really seem to care back then. Now I would probably be a bit more alarmed.The un-Zen Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275962596668929099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-19982898591890052742010-12-04T09:14:19.663-07:002010-12-04T09:14:19.663-07:00I just moved from Arizona to Virginia and the cold...I just moved from Arizona to Virginia and the cold air is really affecting the way I breathe... and I dont like it!

The one tip that I have is to carry your rescue inhaler with you. Plus wear a cold air face mask while you are running to warm the air that you breathe. I have done some winter marathon and half-marathon training in MN where it really gets cold and snowy.<br /><br />Good luck!MNFireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292110705865479925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-62534203644123218622010-12-03T16:41:29.518-07:002010-12-03T16:41:29.518-07:00I've been basically cured of my asthma for 2 y...I've been basically cured of my asthma for 2 years... Except for running in the cold. Some people say breathing mostly through your nose helps, but mine is usually stuffed up anyway. A bandana or neck gaiter in front of your mouth, while feeling slightly criminal, does warm up the air a fair amount. But- how cold can it be in AZ?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-58099913112855636132010-12-02T23:27:54.263-07:002010-12-02T23:27:54.263-07:00Admittedly, I don't have bad asthma at all - b...Admittedly, I don't have bad asthma at all - but for what it's worth, I try to ease into it.
