Cold Weather Running

I also like cold weather running, but I don't really have a choice living in Wisconsin. Remember, you will have these items for a long time. I have a Nike Softshell jacket I bought at Kohls about 5 years ago for $50 (one of their many sales) and still good as new. My underlayers are all shirts from runs that I have done. I prefer to run in shorts unless it is under 10 degrees, so I have one pair of lined windpants that were given to me 7-8 years ago that are still good as new. I use a plain stocking hat, nothing fancy and bought a nice pair of running gloves for $12, even though mittens may be better. Target has some good running gear at affordable prices too, their C9 collection. You will have these items for a long time so even though you are looking at up front costs, make sure they are what you want. Like Rebecca, I splurge on shoes because I had very bad shin splints with cheaper shoes. I have a road pair and a trail pair of the Brooks Adrenalines, which has some waterproofing on them and has better traction when it is snowing.

Hope this helps...
