Why?!! It’s coming down fairly hard right now, calling for 5 cm today and a couple cm every day this week 😢. Maybe I should take snowshoes for my trail run in Friday 😂
Looks like the ninja runner might be returning earlier this year.

So pretty ! Wrap up... stay warm... and... take the snow shoes
Wow Allie...take care if it gets icy!😊x
Oh no! Not yet! No signs of that stuff here (north of GTA). I’m not ready for it either! I’m enjoying fall running.
I'm glad you're spared so far. I'm hoping this isn't here to stay but the long range is pretty cool. I was really enjoying my fall running....
It’s on the Toronto news this evening. Looks nasty in Calgary.
Ya, they seem to get nailed worse than we do lately. Poor runswithdogs .
Whooeee. I was sick last week and was going to go for a run Tuesday after work. 30+ centimeters of snow. Most of our staff were sent home at 10am, loads couldn't make it to the office. I managed to get out yesterday for a run. Some unshovelled sidewalks, but the weather was great and it was quite beautiful. Sunny. Just deep. Wonder what parkrun will be like Saturday, it's melting like crazy. Also wonder if I'll need to rake my lawn this year or if that's a spring project now.
Could be a mucky mess! I'm not a fan if this in between weather - it's snowing and hovering around freezing again - could be an icy mess tomorrow. I prefer to run first thing in the morning, but might have to wait for the afternoon and hope for the sun to come out....or I'll run in the coulee in front of my house. I think it might be less slippery than the asphalt.
Blimey, it's either snow or baking sun over there, where are the months of drizzly in-between?!!
Snow already, its only the beginning of October, unless you are in New Zealand where it is now spring and yes there is snow in spring. In the UK this year we had up to a foot of snow in some places at the beginning of spring in March, wrap up well when you are out 🏃 running with your snow⛄ shoes😊
Yikes! Seems so early for snow (but normal for Canada?!) I shall never complain about British weather again. (But maybe a bit in January). Stay warm, Sask. x
Noooooo!
Oh Allie , looks like you need to get the ski gear out of storage. ⛷🎿🏂❄️☃️⛄️
Oh dear... 💗
I’m thinking of getting some Yaktrax Run grips for my trainers for the British winter. Would those help? ❤️
I was using just some cheap little ice grippers from Costco that worked surprisingly well, but I've worn through them. I have looked at the yaktrax in the past and I believe I can get them locally, so I may be trying them this year. I'll have to see what I can find in town.
We’ve got some cheap ones, but I found those kept flipping off my walking shoes when I attempted using them instead of my crampons! The Yaktrax seem to strap on, so I’m hoping they’ll work better... I like the look of the combination of coils and studs on the running version. I’m hoping that will cover variable pavement conditions (ie ice vs snow, though I’m not sure how they’d fair on cleared sections).
That was my only concern with them as well. The pathway I run on all winter is often cleared in parts so over half my run may be on cleared paths.
I have a pair of Yaktrax. They are okay on cleared sections. Not great, not terrible. Previous winters I waffled every outing on how much clear pavement vs how much ice and made a different call every day. Last winter I finally dropped cash on proper winter running shoes and bough a pair of Icebugs on sale. I've been impressed so far, and I think I'll get several years of use of them to justify the big price tag.
I just checked out their website. Those sound interesting! Definitely something to consider. It would be nice to not have to worry about what to wear on your feet. Looks like there are no retailers in Saskatchewan, but may have to look into it next time we go visit family in Edmonton.
Aaahhhhggh! Just kidding Maybe no trails, but how about road running? I may invest in some decent spikes this year. No white stuff here yet. Reminds me I’ve got to switch my tires soon
Hubby changed over our tires this weekend, so we were ready for it; doesn't mean I'm happy about it .,, but at least I stayed on the road 😂. Fingers are still crossed we can hit the trails. Will have to see how much snow sticks around. At least my running partner lives at the lake and will know if it is worth the drive out or not.
Seems way too soon. Take care hope there is a thaw before Winter really sets in. ☃️
Looks beautiful.
Where is it? Send some over to England please.
One of my childhood memories from Alberta was opening the back door just to see a wall of snow from top to bottom where it had drifted against the house.
The snow always seemed to be very deep but probably because I was very small!
That was how it was when we first moved here, but the last few years we've just been very cold and quite dry. Maybe this will be the year we get a huge amount of slow again. I know the farmers can use it, but it would've been better if it could've held off until all the crops were in the bin 😟
Be safe Sask..& wrap up well, won’t be long before it’s here too, but nothing like you experience, yet our country goes to pot!!! Maybe some skis??!!! X
The sun was out today and the snow is already starting to melt off the roads and pathways. They're quite wet and we're right around freezing so I think I'll skip today's outside run as well. I'm a little gun-shy around ice after my nasty fall last year. We got off lucky compared to our neighbours to the West. Calgary got 30-40 cm of snow 😳. People were stranded on the highways for hours! Our roads were slick but nothing like what they experienced. We used to live there and I don't miss that part of being closer to the mountains.
Ooooh I’m not sure how I would cope, but it sure does look beautiful!! This will be my first autumn/winter running. So I’m hoping for the best. Have a really good run if you get out tomorrow. Put the winter weather on notice, you’re here too!! 💪🏽😁😍❤️
My running partner is getting over the flu so my plan is a run in town tomorrow instead of my wonderful trails at the lake - not as enjoyable but given my race is a week away, I better get out there. I guess hill repeats on the pathway behind the golf course is in order.
