I definitely feel winter's arrival in our part of Minnesota. The trees are bare, the wind has a cold bite, and we know that any day a white blanket of snow will be here to stay. It is also time to dig out my winter running gear. Here are some of my favorites... 1, Old Navy Micro Fleece Performance Zip Pullover for Women. This is my favorite running/lounging sweatshirt for winter. It has a full-zip, even though is says it is a zip pullover. I have had this one before, so I stocked up on three colors for this winter. I bought black (in photo above), white, and gray. It is also a good value and comes in tall length if you have a longer torso. 2. Athleta Altitude Pant in Polartec Power Stretch. Now this one was a splurge for me, but I had credit card reward dollars to use on this purchase. They really keep my legs warm during cold runs. We haven't hit minus zero degree temps yet, but I have been impressed by the thickness and the warmth of the fleece. They do run a bit long. I am 5'7ish and they are almost too long on me. 3. QVC Due North Ice and Snow Cleats. These cleats stay on my running shoes for the majority of the winter months. They provide traction on icy roads and sidewalks. I have had several of these over years. I probably replace my cleats every 2-3 years for best traction. I really do love Minnesota winter running. There is something pretty magical about running in fresh snow, braving the elements, and appreciating the beauty of the season. In other news, I have a back injury that is impacting my running. I do not like taking any breaks from running. Can anyone relate to the meme below? :) Happy winter running to all! -Stephanie
