Montréal Q&A

I've recently joined a gym in Little Italy, Montreal, and I'm feeling discouraged because everyone else seems so fit and in shape. I'm trying to get back into exercise after a few years of being inactive, but it's hard when I feel like I'm the only one who's not in shape. I just want to find a way to stop feeling so self-conscious and get back into a routine.

My friends and I want to start a winter running challenge, a 30K run. I know it's crazy, but we're not looking for running advice. We want to know what gear to wear for winter running in Montreal. Specifically, what kind of shoes, clothing, and accessories do you use?
