1 hour of walking in the snow interspersed with squats, lunges, 2 legged crawling, backward walking up steep ramps and leg circles.
two legged crawling? is there a 3 or 4 legged option?

4.5 mile run including .95 km barefoot (ahh screw it lets call it 1km) at -33 degrees C tonight. Sweet, that was my temperature goal for this year , now to extend it to 2km and we are good. No damage to the feet, not even the least bit numb, but I did see some smoke.
Useful info. Thanks!Yep, that seems about right for dressing in those temps.
Not sure why you need waterproof shoes for snow? I wear soft stars, and if the snow is warm and slushy(air temps around 30) , my feet may get damp but never cold.
In cold snow (20s and lower), my feet never get wet unless I accidentally go in a puddle beneath ice or snow. Even then, not that bad. And I have feet that get very cold when bare in the 40s, so I'm not that hard core.
Just sayin you might find non waterproof is ok.
Cross county skiing Tues and Wed. 1 hour each day, don't want to do TMTS.
Had a descent run this evening after work. Distance was 5.3 miles. My goal was to make 6 miles but have not done much running lately (for the last month/longer). My right knee has been getting tight on the outer side on some of my recent run attempts preventing the 9 mile runs I had been enjoying this fall. Have not done as much running as my wife and I have been far from our usual routine since her parents both found out they had cancer and we have been caring for them and taking them to some Dr.'s appointments with my wife doing the majority of that. My running (and most everything) was put on the back burner during that time.
Both her parents are doing better now and our usual routines are nearly back on track. Been trying to get back into my daily routine of running but seem to have lost quite a bit of my distance I had gained during the last year. My distance is limited by the tightening in my right knee. Plan on taking it somewhat easy to gain the distance back. Have been running in VFF's and when the temps were below the mid 20 ran in my tennis shoes. Talk about some clumsy runs. Definitely not used to running in the clod hoppers!
Did run 4.5 miles Tuesday night after work before the right knee tightened up. Guess I'll keep on - keeping on!
5 kms in almost freezing temperatures. Good run. except I got hit from behind by a bicycle. I did a somersault and landed on my back (well, not quite, I fell and rolled over), he fell off the bike and lost his shoe (another reason not to wear shoes), we both got wet and dirty. My pinkie toe is bleeding and sore, but I don't think it is broken, and I have a couple of cuts and bruises. I think he hurt himself more.
Afterwards, I ran 2 kms home, more or less the same tempo as before the collision. No harm done, run tomorrow as well, I hope.
Lesson: even though the ground is a bit more painful to run on, try to run as far as posssible from the bike lane.
Lesson 2: running in cold, windy rain is wonderful, but sometimes, cyclists will have a harder time seeing you (in you fluorescent yellow jacket) as they squint and hide from the wind.
Lesson 3: there is no lesson 3.
