I woke up and decided to embrace the cold weather! Nice thick running top, new cycling socks ๐งฆ(says good for supporting the foot & ankles - works), my neoprene gloves ๐งค(very nice indeed๐๐ฝ) ......oh yeah and my proper running leggings this time!! ๐.....itโs on! ๐๐พโโ๏ธ
It had to be a Headspace run for my first run in the cold. It was lovely and quiet as the kids are on half term holidays and the traffic is always lighter too. My weekend was non stop doing, with lots to do, but I did it. I was up until after midnight, so my run this morning was a little celebration of being done and feeling achieved. Tackled it and I won!! ๐คบ๐คบ๐คฉ
I was embracing the old C25K snail run ๐ ๐ today. Feeling the freshness of the cold on my face and loved every slow minute of it!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ I ran 4.75k in 38 minutes by the time I was back at my door. Tempted to go on to do 5k? You may wonder ๐ค ....... No......Itโs enough! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐คฉ
Happy running Runners!! โค๏ธ

I envy you. I wanted to go out on the wonderful misty frosty sunny morning and make it three days running in a row, but lack of sleep scuppered my plans. Your run sounds lovely xxx
Good call on the gloves. I wore an extra layer this morning and thought I'd be toasty, but wow my hands were cold along the shady lanes. Still, lovely morning!
Thanks Mike!! The gloves were another Aldi find. Iโve picked up a few nice bits for winter running. I even saw some arm/elbow warmers. I donโt plan to be in t-shirts though. A step too far!! ๐ค๐โค๏ธ
Sounds wonderful - the kind of run I hoped to have this morning but had to give up as pavements were very slippy - so disappointed . Off to check out the treadmill at local gym !!
Thanks so much. ๐ค Aah, I see Lexie, I consider myself fortunate today.
I did cancel my gym membership today. Iโve not been there since I started C25K. Iโve decided to go for a day pass if the weather is too harsh. Im sure the run will feel great, wherever it happens! โค๏ธ
Oh Fab, wasnโt it an amazing morning for a run? โค๏ธ
I started in the fog actually, which lifted after a while - but even though it was cold I agree with you, it felt awesome! ๐ I could have done with gloves at the beginning, however. โ๏ธ
Bet it felt nice to unearth your snail! ๐ I love mine, heโs with me often!
I did a lovely 4k today in 30 minutes on the nose. Soooo much better than my slog last Monday.
Thanks Ang. Me too! It was a great no requirements run!! ๐โค๏ธ
That sounded fabulous Fab, I absolutely love the Headspace runs (UNM got me going on them) some of the Spotify playlist that accompany them are amazing too - pure bliss!!! What a perfect way to start the day ๐๐ ๐๐
