10k back to couch

[Susieq174]

As I missed another run on Friday my other half asked if I was doing 10k back to couch! It made me laugh a lot.

He’s not right by the way although I haven’t run as often as I’ve wanted to. Today I’ve decided it’s just too cold so I forced myself onto the exercise bike instead. I’m such a wimp with the cold even though I ran in -2 when I was on the couch25k programme. I keep thinking the weather will get marginally warmer but apparently there’s colder weather to come from Russia with love......💕

I went out last nite when it was freezing and within a minute or two I wouldn't notice it. I think it just made me run faster if anything, and the gloves came off and sleeves got rolled up after 2.5k. I do like temps around 2c to -5c as I can then wear my running gloves and hat without getting over warm.

Your right! I get warm really quickly too. I’m just using it as an excuse at the moment 😵 I’m running the manc 10k in May so will start again in March and should time me perfectly for the race. I’ll give myself a kick up the bum when March starts!

There is colder weather coming but you could wrap up warm and go out, depending on the dreaded ice..... the exercise bike is also fun though, well done!

It’s arrived this morning! Lots of snow ❄️ I think most people will have some today?

I think I’ll stick to the exercise bike for now 😊
