Gosh it's cold!

I wasnt feeling particularly enthusiastic about running this frosty morning but having watched my son leave and return from his hour long paper round I decided if he could brave the weather I could too. Extra layers and hat and off I went. Another 5k done. Slow though, is it harder to run breathing cold air?

Good for you getting out there this morning 😊

I find it harder to run in this weather because the cold air makes my nose run (it runs faster than I do!) I'm now really good at blowing my nose whilst jogging!

Yes I'm with you on the runny nose! Dreaming of springtime! 😁

Yes it was chilly wasn’t it EL? Well done on your 5k. 👏👏

I still ran in cropped leggings and a short sleeved top with no jacket though. It’ll need to be Arctic for me to resort to extra layers! I did a slowish 8k, albeit 2 minutes faster than last week’s travesty! I did buy a monster bag of jelly babies at the weekend especially so I could pop a few in my pocket for energy - but I ate them all. 🤦‍♀️ Will get more today and hide them from myself! 😅

Very brave cheeky. I have to say I got the layers wrong today, added an extra running vest under my cotton Jersey top with a thin fleece over that, had to loose the fleece and hat as was too hot. Have just invested in a cheap buff from amazon as trying to protect my ears from cold without overheating! All trial and error.
