Where did I put my gloves?🧤

[Jell6]

I had to miss a run this week already because of work, missing another due to the weather was not an option, but bloody hell it was colder than I expected. 🥶🥶

Are we ever happy with the weather? I like chilly, but this one was painfully cold, especially my hands. I thought they would never warm up, then when they started to I wished they hadn't 😫

It was slippy underfoot in places, thank goodness for head and body lights, at least I got a glistening warning.

If you are going out today have a good one, but do be careful 🤩

Well done getting out Jell, gosh it looks nippy! 🥶 We don’t have that here - yet.

Take care, no slipping and sliding required. 😩

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Don't worry Cheeky, it will be there soon.

Have to confess ( and this is something of a cheekychipmunks confession), there was frozen snot on my face when I got home!!!!😱

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

I think in that amount of cold you definitely need gloves - well done for getting out. Keep warm and safe

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I have found my gloves 🧤🧤🧤

I have just read SaskAlliecat 's post. I feel like a total wimp😶

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

No, no, no, not a wimp at all! It is all relative. I have great breathable winter run gear so I can run in the temperatures I do and we acclimate to the temperatures fairly quick. In all honesty, -15 is pretty decent for our winters, especially when it's not windy. It just means I get to buy a lot more kit than some 😆

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I was once in Montreal at -29.

I thought my eyeballs were going to freeze.

I enjoy reading about your new layers and trails 😊

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great you managed a run even though it was slippy and yes back to being freezing. I had 8 degrees on Monday and Wednesday run to its -3 again.

Nice happy icy face 🤗🤗

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

-3 is pretty tough Buddy, well done for doing that 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Good run for you Jell6, despite it being a little slippy underfoot, when are the British ever happy with the weather?😀

For parkruners tomorrow, wrap up, its going to be minus 5 at some runs,

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr , we are rarely happy with the weather, but I still prefer the cold to the heat!

If you run tomorrow stay cosy 🤩

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

👍 🏃🏾

[davelinks Graduate10]

Yes, I have to wear gloves in the cold, have arthritis in the hands, you wouldn't know it to look at them, but I know it, they can feel stiff, clicky & painful.

Maybe we will get a nice Winters running tale poem from old floss soon, she's good at those.. 😉

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

Oh yes, a frosty Oldfloss ramble.....

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Jell6]

Now that could be just what I need to do !

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Hope so🤩

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Brrrrrr go you... I ha to miss my run because of ice.... it is nippy indeed... Hope things warm up for you!

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I'm sure the planned alcohol will help 😬

Got to finish it off before my almost dry December 🍷🍸
