Haven’t managed a run since Sunday. We are into our fourth day of snow and gales. Went for a walk to the beach yesterday and was nearly blown over by the force of the wind. Daughter did the same and was almost blown into the path of a car! Several lampposts along the beach road were sheared off by the gales on Wednesday.
So no running at the mo, focusing on keeping the garden birds fed instead!
Our park run today has been cancelled as well due to the ice. Part of the route is along the promenade and there’s a flood warning as well for overtopping waves. Saw it for myself yesterday, definitely not safe.
Same here Chris: being born under the sign of the Vole ( one of the lesser known ones) I am pretty risk averse and it simply isn't safe here. Just taking the dogs for their walk yesterday in our flat, open topography was adventure enough for me. My eyes are still sore from the snow being whipped into them...thinking about wearing goggles today. The upside was the number of birds I saw at close quarters as the poor beggars sought any kind of shelter.
Yeah it’s gone down now but I dunno if i’m dropping to bits but my ear is driving me mad again and I had ruddy toothache. It’s all on one side so gotta be linked I had a hot water bottle on the side of my head last night. I could hear the ocean all night 🙄. Could be those icy blasts! Mind you I was well covered but it hits your face doesn’t it. Whinge whinge
I told my husband that I couldn’t put off my 18k any longer he suggested I was mad and I should run it on a treadmill. Do me a favour, says I 😁. He said I’d end up on my face again. I pointed out there was no snow when I landed on my face 😬. Bicker bicker. Anyway he had to be nice to me as he was borrowing my car again, as his flash job is crap on ice and snow (as predicted by me) He has given me some change to buy a drink at the end of the run, for my walk home ☕️
I don’t really want to go but I feel anxious about stacking up runs. I can head out and see what it’s like. If I don’t like it I can come back
Haha, you and me both! I’m determined to finish Ju-ju’s pre-Christmas 10 is the magic number this weekend, so 10k here I come.
As they say in the playground - ‘I will if you will’ so let’s go for it! Forecast is for rain and sleet tomorrow so am hoping these massive snow drifts will melt away by Sunday.
Having said that, it’s still snowing here and we’ve had that awful freezing rain so no running but my better half and I have been out delivering supplies from our community shop to the oldies in the village and outlying farms.
