So close but no cigar!

I went out for my park run last night, extra layers were definitely needed! I had fleece joggers over my running tights and a base top under my hoodie and my trusty karrimor headband. Took the gloves off after 2k as my hands were roasting. The main thing is it didn't snow!

I set my phone target to 8.5k as i was worried about the weather but the run was going well so i carried on, and finished to find i had done 9.88k :-O oh had i known it was so close...my other tech malfunction (totally my malfunction actually) I had paused my fitbit to sort out my sock at 4.63 miles and forgot to un-pause so it missed the last section of my run....what a tool!

Anyhow - i still did 6 miles if not the 10k so thats good enough for me :-)

Happy running everyone - hope snow is not causing disruption for those of you further north x

Well done, 6 miles is a great achievement.

Its seems you had a lot going on during your run. I'm sure we have all had some technical fails at some point, I know I have.

That’s brilliant Alisonx, all credit to everyone getting out at night in this wintry snap. It can’t be easy to leave that couch. 🏃‍♀️👏👏

6 miles is pretty good, especially in these weather conditions. Well done you.
