I slipped, I slithered, I RAN (just not very far!!!!)

So the rain has stopped, the thaw has sort of started but the only surface you can realistically run on is the road.

Not ideal when you are constantly dodging all sorts of traffic headed towards you.

Still I managed 5k in an extremely slow, steady, stop and start kind of way and it felt good to actually get out.

Hopefully by Tuesday we will have no snow (though probably a lot of sogginess) and I can get out after work.

Run happy, run safe everyone.

After the crazy snowfall you guys were experiencing, I'm sure it felt great to get back out! Fingers crossed for better weather ahead!

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Certainly did although I'm sure you get much worse!!!

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

This year we were plagued with really cold weather but seemed to always be just on the edge of the storms. We haven't got the snow like runswithdogs has gotten, but we're in another snowfall warning today so we shall see.

It's been unbelievably snowy this year. Reminds me of winter when I was a kid. Those spring runs are going to be GREAT

Well done Chris. Got to be extra careful when its thawing, lots of sketchy parches of black ice here and there

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Decker]

Thanks

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Good stuff for making the effort and getting out there...

[pinkaardvark Graduate10]

Well done for getting out in it. I went for a walk today with the little guy in the buggy round the routes I normally run and decided I was glad I was walking. Car said 8c today though, crazy weather

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]

Still feels bloody freezing!!!

[pinkaardvark Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Try running faster then

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]

Lol

Yay, we’ll done you, and we’ll done to all of us for keeping that running flame going despite the snow and subArctic temps.

Ain’t life great!😊😁🤸🏼‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍

[Millsie-J]

Well done Chris, you were brave to be out in it!

I think our thaw here is a couple of hours ahead of you. This morning when I was out ....walking....it was quite icey.

But I am hoping for a run tomorrow now it’s beginning to clear .

Happy running Chris!

Me too..... tomorrow...we had freezing rain this morning which fell on a snow shower we had in the early hours!!!

It has rained since midday though and is mostly clear... so... see you out there tomorrow

[Millsie-J in reply to Oldfloss]

😃🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Yeayayyaya Go you... I thought about you

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you Floss, it was not very pleasant today, sofa and a warm cuppa would have been a nicer way to spend those 40 minutes!!!

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Better days beckon... it will come x

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Well done... stay safe !

[misswobble Graduate10]

I did that Chris the other day on my long run. You need total concentration 🙄 I thought I’d go snow blind too 😁

Moan moan. I was pleased to get out out at all ! 😃

Setting off in a minute. 5k today though thankfully
