One of the goals of American Heart Month is to encourage people to add physical activity to their daily routine. I definitely need extra motivation to stay active and keep running until spring! A few weeks ago I shared my Fitbit review from my first month wearing a fitness tracker, and now I have a roundup of winter running advice from a few bloggers to share that will help you finish out the end of the winter season.

Kaila @ Healthy Helper:
Slow your pace down! It's not worth it to run your normal speed and risk hurting yourself trying to trudge through snow or potentially slipping on ice. Lose the ego and run smart!
Lauren @ Breathe Deeply and Smile:
Be sure to stay hydrated. In the cold weather you may feel less thirsty, but that doesn't mean you don't need to drink water!
