Don't be so hard on yourself. Running, even walking, in cold weather is not easy. The cold will most definitely hurt your throat. Try covering your nose and mouth with a scarf and see if that helps.

Can you run indoors anywhere near you? Our local high school opens the indoor track to the public on weekdays. Of course, today is Saturday Can you walk every day - that would help you get in shape.
