This morning, it was really freaking cold. I did not want to run, so I tried to read the entire Internet.
I didn’t quite get there, but I did stumble upon some awesome videos from BexLife on YouTube and decided to make a video myself once I finally came home from my run this afternoon.
Super-sexy screengrab.
Here’s a link to a post I wrote a few years ago about winter running, and below are the links to the products I mentioned:
Do you run outside in the cold, or do you stick to the treadmill? I’m about half and half; I’ll do short runs on the treadmill in the winter, but my long runs must must must be outside, as I go nuts after more than 45-50 minutes on a treadmill.
That flip belt intrigues me. Nice vlog
That flipbelt shot was kind of hilarious, because I kind of half-expected “… And here’s my umbrella! And a sandwich!” a la Mary Poppin’s purse.
The flipbelt is intriguing. I like my Nathan Shadow Pak and it was perfect for my iPhone 4, but since I the 5 it’s a bit snug if I want to put the house key and chapstick in there as well, let alone any Gu. But really, on to more important things–tell us about your nail polish.
Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees! OPI!
love flipbelt used mine for the 2nd time today on my long run – got the discount of Tina’s Blog.
injury + training = angry me.
Agreed on running outside vs. treadmill – long runs outside/short and speedwork treadmill
ran 8 miles this am around the park and there were a ton of runners it wasn’t as bad as a thought until i finished and my foot is in unbearable pain. i’m hoping this is fixable as i want to PR in March.
Oh no
Hope your foot gets better!
I love that headband! I can’t find it online – what style is it? And thanks for the vlog – it was great!
Found it! http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/bright-at-night/Womens-Brisk-Run-Headband-31194?cc=2228&sli=1
Perfect timing I was just trying to figure out a good running tight. I like the jacket too but it is not available. Bummer. The flip belt is intriguing! Thanks!
Okay i just searched and searched for the jacket. No luck. Any ideas or tips? How do the pants fit true to size? I think I saw m but no s. one review said they were baggy but hard to know on a new brand. Any nb shopping advice would be awesome.
I know it’s out of stock on newbalance.com but think it’s available in stores still and just saw it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/WFvBUo
Yeah–they do run a bit big. I wear a small in them, and I wear a medium in other New Balance bottoms.
@Theodora: thanks!
@Jenny: I forgot to ask what size do you wear in the flip belt. I am so intrigued.
It’s a medium and I wear it around my hips.
the vlog was great! I don’t think I’ve ever purchased something from a vlog review, but I suddenly feel compelled to get that headband… maybe the flip belt. I never run further than 2 miles from home, so I usually travel light

Great vLog! Keep the reviews and vlogs coming. I am definitely going to get the Flipbelt! You look great and congratulations on your 7 mile run! Thank you for the review.
Hi cousin
Thanks!
Great vlog! Thanks for sharing!!! I’m a huge weanie so I don’t like being outside in super hot or super cold or super windy, etc. weather. Ugh…
I just got those tights!! They are on sale on the website… Can’t wait to try them
I am no fan of winter running but really i hate a dreadmill, so its out i go! I actually dont really mind winter running until it is really cold like it has been this week- once you hit low twenties/teens and wind, i’m out! Into the pool for me
when i do venture out i bundle up- i “run cold” so yesterday i wore two hats, long sleeve tight tech shirt, long sleeve winter shell, fleece lined tights (love!!), thick balga socks and my winteriest gloves. Plus a scarf around my chin and lips.
I have tried lots of belts but have yet to find one i like. I like to run with as little as possible and mostly need a place for multiple gus on long runs. That sucker looks great!
Warmer weather ths week- yes!!!!
I am exactly the same about not being able to stand more than a 40-50 minutes on the treadmill!
Was PSYCHED to hear you mention sunscreen in your VLOG – I was diagnosed with type 1 melanoma this fall – at the age of 30 – and I’d love to get more runners aware that they need to protect their skin when they’re outside, as well as getting frequent skin screenings. Those long runs add up!
I would say I am half/half too, short runs or speed workouts on the treadmill and longer runs outside. I tend to get warm on my torso but my legs and face stay cold almost no matter what!
