Super cold (for me anyway) here in DFW, TX at 17° F and a wind chill of 4. It was very dry though, so my feet didn't get crazy cold like other times when there was more humidity. I ran one whole mile, yay!

So have only been out in the 40F's, and today was mostly dry so -- post run, was expecting mid-40F's, and was surprised that sportstracklive.com (I use android) reported 33F. Wow -- not *that* much colder than mid-40F -- lol! Cheers!
Yah, southern Cali is a barefooter's heaven, but a motorist's hell.Nice! Sounds like you had perfect running weather.
Love the pictures - looks like a great place for hiking.
Thanks Rick. It does kinda feel like cheating; no challenge at all, temp-wise. At least all the hills were challenging. My relatives live at about 1500 feet I think. It's one steady climb up from the center of Corona. The lows were something like a 5-to-10-degree (Fahrenheit) difference between the center and the foothills. Otherwise I would've been out of Winter Challenge range. So kind of a 'perfect storm' of just-qualifying temps and extra time on my hands to supplement the running with walking.Nice Job Bare Lee. funny that you had to travel to California to rack up some challenge miles, just like RunLite from Texas will soon overtake me. I was going to put my money on Yvonne also until you updated your totals on the spreadsheet.
Heatwave in my area. Lows are in the 20 F range, but highs have been upper 40's. I have a small window of opportunity to get a few miles in right when the gravel thaws enough, but before it warms out of the challenge range. No sign of Winter returning. Bad for the ski resort near me and our snowpack totals.
Well, it all depends on conditions. December was close to a total bust for me, barefoot-wise, and the rest of January doesn't look too favorable either, although I should be able to get in some more one-mile run-commutes bare here and there. The temps won't be too bad, but it may snow every few days. If February stays relatively dry, I should be able to get in some decent barefootin', and then finish strong March, if the snowfall is average or less.Holy sh*t Lee. I looked at the spreadsheet and you're over 400km. I thought Yvonne was going to catch you too. I'm glad you took photos. I kept looking but could not find the frozen white stuff so common in my area. I think I've got to move to CA.
Our streets are starting to dry out, so if we don't get snow over the next couple days, I should be able to put skin to road. 5 miles on the treadmill today .... zzzzzzz
For such a harsh winter in so many places, it's great to see we're collectively putting up some pretty decent mileage. Here in the Twin Cities we've had five school closings in January due to extreme cold and windchills. Now I realize how barefoot-friendly last winter was, and what Winterpeggers must go through pretty much every year!We did it!!! We now stand at 3744 km
We exceeded last years total of 3739 km
Yah, pretty sporadic for me too. I've been doing back-n-forths up in the fairgrounds on days when it's warm and dry enough to run bare. Yesterday afternoon I got in the car a couple of times to warm up the footsies. The street was still slushy in spots and pretty windy at times. I hate having to drive to run. Seems pretty dumb, but I gotta get in some plantar stimulation, and nearer to home the sidewalks are still pretty hit-or-miss.I've been sidelined with temperatures in the single digits (F) for the last week.
It's supposed to get above freezing this weekend again so hopefully I'll get a few miles in.
