5 Reasons to Run Outside in the Winter

We know, we know, treadmills are looking awfully appealing these days. But before you give up fresh air altogether, here are a few reasons to continue the occasional (or frequent) run outside.

1) Real life gingerbread houses

You can tour your neighborhoods full of holiday lights. Twinkle, twinkle!

2) Making your mark in the world

If you head out early enough, you’ll get to make the first snow footprints! One small step for man…

3) Sporty spice

You have an excuse to rock more running gear. Layers, people!

4) VIP paths

You own the road – fewer people are outside in winter, so you don’t have to worry that popular paths will be too crowded.

5) You can say you did it!

Let’s be real, you totally get bragging rights.
