Hot or Cold?
2009 October 6
I forgot to tell you guys about the Nike Test Drive Program. How cool is this?
. 
If I decide that cross trainers aren’t for me I can return them, no questions asked! So far I’m really liking them. The nice sales lady told me that I could totally beat them up for 30 days and then return them for a new pair. I don’t think that will be happening cause I really like them. If you’ve been eyeing a new pair of Nike kicks, be sure to visit your nearest Niketown and ask them about this program.
And now for the moment you’ve been waiting for all day: The answer to Tuesday Trivia:
Coincidentally, if I were to go for a run at this very moment I would be wearing long sleeves. You guys are good! I bust out the long sleeves when the temps hit 60 degrees. What do you prefer hot or cold weather running? I’m not gonna lie as much as I hate being cold, I’ve grown quite fond of winter running. My favorite time to run is when there is snow on the ground. Lets hope there’s lots of snow this year.
Don’t forget to play Tuesday Trivia again next week, where the correct answer may win you a prize! Woo hoo!

Well, I was close!
I love the tip about the Nike return policy. Very good to know! Thanks!
I’m a princess… I like my weather somewhere in the middle with a little bit of wind (preferably working with me, not against me!).
I meant to guess and I forgot, my guess was 60. I grew up in Massachusetts so 60 is nothing.
how in the world do you run in the snow?
if there’s a light layer of snow i usually end up sliding when running.
if there’s lots of snow and ice has developed i slip anyway.
even when it just plain snows and doesn’t freeze over, i still slip.
maybe our snow is just really wet since i’m by the ocean?
please, tell me your secret.
Robin – I know, I’m a cold weather weenie. I once ran a marathon in long sleeves and the temp. was 60 degrees. I think I was one of two people wearing long sleeves out of 30,000 runners.
Katherine- My secret is this… In NYC the snow only stays on the street for like a millisecond before its plowed away.
Then central park is a winter wonderland that also happens to have a plowed drive. My absolute favorite time to run is when it snows during the night and I run at 5 am before they’ve had a chance to plow.
Mari – I guess I feel like if its gonna be cold, it should be snowing. I also don’t have a car, so I’m sure that’s one reason I prefer the snow.
the san diego nike women’s store clued me into this about 4-5 mos ago. i was shocked and although i have been buying nikes for my entire life and am super brand loyal b/c of how they fit my skinny feet, i have to say i loved this. rock on!
“My favorite time to run is when there is snow on the ground. Lets hope there’s lots of snow this year” HUH What? no no no lol…take that back please lol…I hate when it snows =(…and I am scared of running when it is snowing/ icey because I think I am going to fall on my bumm ha…did I mention I hate the snow…especially digging my car out for 2 hours just to have those huge trucks that clean the street, throw it right back on ha
Wow, 60 degrees?? I was way off!! I prefer running in cold weather, rather than hot. In Columbus the humidity can really ruin a good run. It’s awful. In the winter I can at least bundle up and start taking things off as I run (wrap my fleece around my waist, etc).
I like running in the snow too!! You kind of feel like a total bad ass runner for being out there in all kinds of weather conditions. I am definitely a cold weather vs. warm weather runner. I get too hotttt in the heat. My best 5K time was in December!
