Frustrated...

[TedG]

Got myself really psyched up for today’s run only to turn back as too many icy patches on pavements...not prepared to take the risk 🙄......oh well, Parkrun it is on Saturday then! 😊

Ah Ted , I feel your pain and totally agree !

I couldnt run last weekend due to the snow . The only chance I had to go out this week so far and the paths were really icy . Now I have gone down with a sore throat and chesty cold.

* Throws myself to the ground and beats it with my fists *

We will get out there eventually xxx

Not worth the risk mate, Park Runs for both of us Sunday

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

No running on ice.. very bad.. slippage and breakage! I was hoping for a run at the Coast tomorrow... currently sleet and heavy rain now I am here!! Yuksters!

Good luck for Park run!!!

Good call. The icy weather WILL abate. x

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

It will

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Very wise! 😄

[Slinkyminky Graduate10]

Not worth the risk. We've had heavy snow and last couple of days icy and slippy, be glad when it's all gone!

It's been a week now since I've been for a run and had enough!! 😞

Oh, I know that feeling!

[TedG Graduate10]

Touché 😊🏃‍♀️🏃

[Slinkyminky Graduate10]

Yyeeeaaahhhh it's chucking it down!! Soooo glad to hear the sound of rain 👍👌😬

Be gone snow!!!

[C25KKate Graduate10]

I had a similar abortive run attempt on Tuesday. In the end it’s not worth the risk of injury. Very wise to give up. Good luck with park run.

Thank you Kate 😊

I vented my frustration with the ice by doing a Joe Wicks HIIT 20 minute workout indoors - follow along with him on YouTube. It's just as tough as a run, if not tougher. Make sure you warm up and stretch afterwards properly - his videos of that are a big flaky.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at that 😊
