Any ideas where I can find an indoor track to do workouts in? I just moved to a cold region where I can't find any outdoor tracks that keep the lights on at night. I heard that some high school or community colleges have indoor tracks but thought I'd check with people on this forum.
f your ass
Why dont you tell us what part of a the cold weather region you are in. Like what city you live in for example.

What does the temperature have to do with leaving the lights on at night or not? You'd run in the dark if it were warm and you'd run in the freezing cold if it were light?
You are a weird dude.

where a lot of us live, it's completely dark by 5 in the winter, but in the summer, there's enough light to see the track up until 9 or so.
so his situation can basically apply to anybody who runs after work. still seem ridiculous?
to the OP, your best bet, like others said, is just say where it is you live. Without specific info, the best we can say is check the local high schools, colleges, and YMCAs....

Yes, it seems even more ridiculous after you've explained it. I think you both need to get your heads examined.
Lunatics.

I don't know if you're trying to bait me or what, so I'll say this one time and then I'm out.
I get off at work at 5. Out the door to run between 5:30 and 6:00. If I have a track workout scheduled, I'd like to do it regardless of temperature. The two things that might keep me from doing so are ice on the track, and not being able to see where the hell I'm going. In the summer, neither of these are a problem at this time. In the winter, if the lights aren't on at the track, you can't see where you're going. I don't understand the confusion, but after all, I'm a lunatic, so whatever.
I guess the OP could get one of those really cool running headlamps.

Can't see where you're going on a track? Where do you do your track workouts, the Monaco Grand Prix?
You need to get back on your meds.
I just did a similar move to the Chicago area. I would recommend looking for community colleges in the area (or 4-yr universities) and then looking at their websites to see if they have an indoor track. At some of the two years you can join a gym class (or something similar) and get use of the track. If you live in a snowy area some gyms and fitness clubs have "indoor tracks" as well.
