It's my best friend! That, and Netflix to keep my mind distracted from the task at hand. I don't have cable but I usually watch a show, or two, on Netflix or stream something (right now it's Big Brother.) <br /><br />If you ever decide to get a treadmill. Sign up for Canadian Tire alerts. They ALWAYS have sales. Mine was 2200 and dropped to 850 :)<br /><br />PS I wish we lived closer.Kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233960319025168287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591658634412055487.post-37869444673959592092015-09-09T11:34:49.345-06:002015-09-09T11:34:49.345-06:00Having a running partner makes winter running way ...Having a running partner makes winter running way easier, especially when it's dark out!! That's also hard to do when you have kids though so the treadmill is my backup! I don't watch a lot of TV (no time and I swear Netflix is down every time I go to fold laundry!) but sometimes that's how I motivate myself to run on the treadmill. Check kijiji- you might find a good deal on there! I have a full winter running wardrobe that I have accumulated over the years but I have no problem spending money on running clothes unfortunately!<br /><br />That book sounds great! I need to figure out a way how to teach my kids about giving- makes sense for them to learn by seeing you do it so I guess I need to give more! <br /><br />I need to get on track with my eating too- I find way too many excuses to eat bad stuff!<br /><br />Nicole @ Haute Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567153986505971579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591658634412055487.post-89391805771322014382015-09-08T22:33:11.899-06:002015-09-08T22:33:11.899-06:00I agree - I didn't mention it, but slipping is...I agree - I didn't mention it, but slipping is also something that scares me. And something that seems to happen to a lot of people in the winter, runners or not! The gym I want to go to (Goodlife), only offers 1 or 2 year contracts (I wish they offered 6 months - I would totally get one without hesitation then). I never seem to go consistently enough over a two year period…we will see!

Something about winter running alone isn't nearly as appealing as getting out there with a friend. Plus, it helps that we have a similar pace. <br /><br />I think I'm so overwhelmed by my TV watching (well Netflix - we don't have cable) because I don't have nearly the time to watch TV like I used to.

It just takes investing in some good, warm clothes and layering. I ran a lot after work when it was dark in the winter, so I highly recommend a reflection vest. I bought mine from Running Room.

It SUCKS giving up everything you worked for and I so wish I had room for a treadmill because I'd be all over that in the winter. If you lived here I'd make you run with me no matter what, haha. <br /><br />I don't watch much TV so I'm mostly a one show at a time person.
