I’m on a rest day, and looking out the window and listening to the wind howling, I don’t think that’s a bad thing! Storm Callum doing his thing.
Might brave the beach with my dog, but will definitely be avoiding the woods. Don’t fancy a falling branch/tree incident.
Hoping it dies down a bit for Parkrun tomorrow - otherwise it could be a very slow one! 💨🐌💨🏃♀️💨🐕🏃♀️
Stay safe everyone! ❤️
Hi Cheeky yes I know what you mean it’s blowing a gale here too and forecast is for ore and stronger winds should be interesting tomorrow at parkrun 😀
Me: 🐌🐌🐌🐌
Same here, it’s like winter has arrived all of a sudden. Glad I ran yesterday. BUT, it didn’t stop the post lady delivering my new running shoes. Will open them after coffee..... 😀😀
Oooo how exciting! I hope we’ll be treated to a pic? 👟 🏃😀👍
I was about to set out for a run this morning, horizontal rain and gale force winds. Think I'll have a cuppa first and see if it clears lol
Smart move! ☕️
High winds might mean postponing your run. If it’s blowing gales it’s really hard. And of course it can be dangerous
Currently it’s still blowing a gale and tipping it down. Maybe another cuppa 
Here Neil, have a few ..... ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
I already have lol Oh, and I managed to squidge in a little run too. Oh, and then some torture at the physio... I'll post about that in a minute 
I was up and out with the dog early doors It’s warm 😃
I’m running later 🏃♀️
The dog wanted out again 🤨. So we’ve just had a good walk. It’s his fave weather 😁. It’s really warm though
It’s really warm isn’t it? Definitely no long sleeves or leggings tomorrow even if it is raining. Might even be back to my shorts!
Good choice for a rest day! I am too. Was going to go for a walk at Cliveden today but not in these winds. Fingers crossed for our runs tomorrow!
I’m expecting windy, wet and warm! And definitely (in my case) not a PB!! My dog and I will go along regardless! 🏃♀️💨💦🐕😀
It's the same here cheekychipmunks, we're being lashed by storm Callum and it's forecast to last two days! 😳
I'm not running parkrun tomorrow due to a night out but that's just as well as I'm not sure running in a storm would be very pleasant! Luckily I have the week off and had a mini break in Exmoor and went for a great run along a river yesterday.
Good luck if you do parkrun tomorrow 😁
Aww thanks CH. Have a great night out! You can enjoy it guilt-free!
I’m still going to attempt Parkrun tomorrow and hope there’s no headwind up our long hill! No joke, I’d be running on the spot (or even going slightly backwards) judging by the speed I ascend it even without wind! 😅😅💨💨🏃♀️🏃♀️🐌🐌
I’m meant to be running my first parkrun tomorrow since graduating, don’t know of it’ll take place, it’s quite blustery, all will be revealed tomorrow, good luck to all you hale and hearty runners braving the elements 🌬🌬🌬
Hope you can still go Walshy, it’s the best fun ever. 😀 I asked a marshal at ours whether it’s ever been cancelled due to weather, and she said no. Only when the park is being used for something else (festival a few weeks ago, for example). And I assume icy conditions - although it was fine last winter.
So fingers crossed for all us Parkrunners tomorrow. 🤞 Good luck to you - remember to report back and let us know how you get on! 😀
Will do, I’m kinda dreading it, I always set myself a time and if I don’t meet it I’ll get annoyed, gotta remember it’s 4 yrs since I’ve done this! I’ll let ya know thanks 👍😁
I got a PB last weekend and I know 100% that if the wind stays up like this I won’t get one tomorrow - and yes I’ll be annoyed with myself too! Running has made me so competitive, fortunately only with myself! 😅
Ok cheeky chipmunks 30 mins to blast off!! Wish me luck!! I’ll let you know how it goes xx
I’ll be thinking of all you fellow park runners as I push off the start line
Rest day for me too! I looked at the forecast and did my 10k yesterday. Will be spending most of tomorrow on trains and buses to get back to Scotland, so another rest day during phase 2 of the rain and gales! I did a hard yoga "strength" session today though - my legs don't know what hit them! Maybe time for some circuit training when I get home tomorrow. Thank goodness for dvds and indoor gyms during severe weather! Stay safe everyone
Hey cheeky, I'm on a rest day too. In fact as my runs have got out of sync this week, it's a couple of rest days, in prep for my park run in the morning.
I'm hoping it's still on as I see a few have been cancelled due to the weather. Mine is through woodlands so if the wind continues it could be a bit tricky with fallen branches etc
Good luck with yours x
I haven’t heard anything about ours being cancelled. There are some trees, but we’re on permanent paths so the footing will be fine, albeit with twigs and fallen conkers possibly. I get there early to give my dog a run off the lead before it starts, and I’ll be happy to kick things off the paths if needs be.
Hope yours is on Sandi! Have fun! 😀😀
Enjoy parkrun cheeky. Don’t worry about the pace- think how far you’ve come 🐌😊🏃♀️🏃♀️
Thanks Beanjo! I’m always happy at Parkrun - I still pinch myself wondering how on earth I’ve ended up running 5k on a Saturday morning for fun!
Good luck to Turnturtle and Poppypug
Good running after a bad week
I’m still running!
Is running good for me?
