Hello Runners

I woke up and decided to embrace the cold weather! Nice thick running top, new cycling socks ๐Ÿงฆ(says good for supporting the foot & ankles - works), my neoprene gloves ๐Ÿงค(very nice indeed๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ) ......oh yeah and my proper running leggings this time!! ๐Ÿ˜‚.....itโ€™s on! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏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!! ๐Ÿคบ๐Ÿคบ๐Ÿคฉ

I was embracing the old C25K snail run ๐ŸŒ ๐ŸŒ today. Feeling the freshness of the cold on my face and loved every slow minute of it!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ 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 ๐Ÿค” ....... No......Itโ€™s enough! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

Happy running Runners!! โค๏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. Iโ€™ve picked up a few nice bits for winter running. I even saw some arm/elbow warmers. I donโ€™t plan to be in t-shirts though. A step too far!! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜โค๏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. ๐Ÿค— Aah, I see Lexie, I consider myself fortunate today.

I did cancel my gym membership today. Iโ€™ve not been there since I started C25K. Iโ€™ve decided to go for a day pass if the weather is too harsh. Im sure the run will feel great, wherever it happens! โค๏ธ

Oh Fab, wasnโ€™t it an amazing morning for a run? โค๏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! ๐Ÿ‘ I could have done with gloves at the beginning, however. โ„๏ธ

Bet it felt nice to unearth your snail! ๐ŸŒ I love mine, heโ€™s with me often!

I did a lovely 4k today in 30 minutes on the nose. Soooo much better than my slog last Monday.

Have a great week! โค๏ธ
