(NC)—If you are waiting until spring to get active, you are wasting the winter. Physical activity is a great way to break out of the winter blahs, and help melt away some winter weight. Molson Canadian 67 offers these tips to help runners cross the finish line, stay motivated and have fun.

1. Join a running group to help keep you motivated and increase your social network.

2. Keep warm. Thermal base layers including gloves and a toque that will keep moisture away from your body will keep you comfortable.

3. Get a grip. Running spikes that fit over your shoes will help keep you from sliding on ice.

4. Eat a well–balanced diet. Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for aerobic activity. Vegetables, cereal, pasta and bread are a great energy source before a run.

5. Everything in moderation. Running is a great activity to increase your fitness – you don't have to give up the things you love to run.

6. Reward yourself after pounding the pavement. Hit the pub with friends post–run. If you have weight loss goals keep the menu and bar options lean with low calorie choices like Molson ...

7. A light beer the night before a race is fine, but limit it to one. Beer is a diuretic and, if overdone, can dehydrate you.
