Hi, everyone.
A friend of mine recently asked me to go running with her and I told her that it was too cold outside. In English I would have said "It's too cold outside. I'm not that tough." However, I'm not sure how to express this idea in Spanish. Specifically, I am referring to "tough" in the sense of being able to handle the harsh, cold weather. I can only think of the following.
No soy tan fuerte.
No soy tan duro.
My friend is from Mexico, but I welcome translations from every Spanish speaking country. Thank you.

: Hola Vladimir, decir que no eres tan bravo en Colombia queria decir que no eres tan furioso. O sea algo bastante diferente del sentido en ingles. Saludos!
