Hi Fit,
I recently started running outdoors and am really enjoying it. It's started to cool off, and breathing in the cold air really burns my throat and lungs when I jog. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?

Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing - Instead of grabbing on to cracks and rock ledges with your hands, you dig tools into ice and frozen waterfalls that have formed over the rock.
Obviously, you'll need to love being in the cold if you want to learn to ice climb. Don't go out and buy all the expensive equipment to ice climb just yet.

Here are a few gardening tasks and projects that you can do this month to help keep your garden looking it's best for the rest of this season, and prepare for the long cold winter and upcoming spring.
Perennials, annuals, and bulbs
Make sure that the canes of your climbing roses and other vining plants are securely fastened to their supports. Winter winds can whip and severely damage unprotected plants.

The look I'm using as a base is an old MAC look, but I'm using mostly Smashbox products.

Spring is definitely in the air! I'm in VT and I am waving goodbye to all the snow melting away.
I did a little Spring cleaning (FitSugar's suggestion) and then my honey said "You wanna go for a run?"
