Oh I'm jealous of all you people in warmer climates. Its rarely good enough weather outside in Britain to make running at all enjoyable, either far far to hot, it freezing or damp (or some combination of them). I'd like to run perhaps weekly...Maybe some time in the future? My mile walk to and from sixth form each weekday should do me for now though.

Ah British weather, bane of all runners, lol. It could be worse though - I imagine runners in Scotland and parts of Wales have worse to contend with. I used to run outside regularly but eventually stopped due to the local, male population apparently not being able to resist the urge to scream obscenities at a lone woman exercising outdoors. Welcome to Essex! Additionally black ice in the winter is near-invisible and extremely dangerous under the wrong circumstances. :/

Mhm, the bane of all of us, black ice. The entrance to my school is about a 20 or 25 degree slope downhill (and coming out of school, is equally tricky, a hell of a hill climb). I managed to fall on my bum and slide a couple of metres one winter, rather embarrassing. I could never use a gym though, it'd just be such an awkward situation, and I don't think I'd get the full effect from just running in a gym, as you wouldn't really be seeing the outdoors or getting the fresh air (well, fresh in comparison to the indoors of a sweaty gym at least), and I bet those two are a big factor to the benefits of running.

Just the opposite here: too hot to run after about 8 a m!

Our temperatures often exceed 30 C here and then a siesta is a better option...

But overall it's probably better than black ice.

I helped to marshall at our 5 km and 10 km race this morning - don't have to socialize much for that - just hold my flag!

Same here. I haven't been out running since last June. I'd like to go out soon when it warms up here, but unfortunately my agoraphobia is getting worse as time goes on.

I have something similar. I just dislike running into people I know.
