All weather running 🌨🌫🌬

Just about to go out this morning about 10.30 and it went kind of dark then it started snowing just a bit and it was windy so it was blowing into my face under my baseball cap. It was freezing on the brisk warm up walk but as always , 10 minutes into running I warmed up nicely.

Got to the last 10 minutes and the sun came out.

It's strange what running does to us, out in all weathers and we still feel great at the end. Happy running people πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Good run for you today Buddy34, once the run started you warmed up, I was at Stirling this morning, plenty of places there that you can run, especially up the Forth Walkway, I was thinking of running a 10K, but I'll only do that once I rerun the Juju Magic10 which starts this week.

Buddy & Al, if the ❄️ sticks in 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, any chance you can get your shovels and head to the west coast? Mrs D and I are off up to Largs in March so I’ll need a path clearing for when I run up to Nardini’s πŸ˜‚πŸ€£!! Seriously though, keep warm and safe guys πŸ‘πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ....also you’ve got a good excuse for a πŸ₯ƒ to keep the cold at bay! I’m on Dry January so will be celebrating Burns Night late this Saturday!

The long range weather forecast is for mild and rainy days like we have been having, not severe cold and snow, however, next week we could have a more settled cold spell, probably won't last too long.

πŸ‘ let’s hope not, snow is picturesque but a real nightmare when it’s heavy and hangs around.

Think of the end of February and the first few days of March 2018, the beast from the east, I was glad at that time that I decided to start C25K in April 2018, if it had been two months before, I could not have ran at all, practically every parkrun was cancelled due to all the snow, except Perth in Scotland, there is a video of that parkrun taken that day on YouTube.

That sounds a very happy run indeed. Isn’t it great what it does to us. I went for a run this morning and managed to dodge (through luck not judgement) some pesky hail showers.

Well done getting out there Buddy34 β˜ƒοΈπŸŒͺβ˜”οΈ

I went out yesterday in similar conditions. The hail blowing in my face really hurt! But I still enjoyed it πŸ˜€

Well done, I see these winter bursts coming up the great glen towards us every 20mins or so and am grateful I ran yesterday. Now where will be protected tomorrow? Happy running

As you are much further north than I am your weather will be worse than mine. Hope its not too bad 😊

Luckily no snow lying at the moment but goodness a cold cold wind.

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toGrannyhugs

It was windy when I was out running like you say a bitter cold wind. Noticed it more when out with the dog.

I totally agree with this, there is no way I would head out of the door for a walk in bad weather but if I am scheduled to run away I go.

I am hoping the weather isn't too bad over in Belfast as I want to get an easy run in tomorrow morning.

Have a good week.

As much as it can be energy zapping running in summer I'm quite looking forward to some sunshine now 🌞

I started C25K towards the end of the summer so have yet to experience the challenge of running in the heat. Most of my runs have been in the cold, wet and dark so I am looking forward to some nicer weather.

Sunday I am doing a trail run with some of the girls from running club who are marathon training which I am looking forward to as it is on the morning and then we are going to do lunch together at the end :)

I think I complained about the heat and running but after today I can't wait for some good weather.

Enjoy your trail run and lunch😊

Ooh some brave running there! I think I’ve been luckier with the weather today, even a little sun!

Snow, i would be so excited to see snow, all we have had here in the south is rain rain and more rain, does sound good once you get over the cold though

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toSueAppleRun

Just the kind that comes down but doesn't actually lie on the pavement. Didn't like the bitter cold wind that came along with it.

How are you both doing πŸ€—πŸ€—

Even a few flakes in the air would be more than we’ve seen this winter

We are getting better thanks, but it’s flipping slow going, ive started coughing again but i think that’s my lungs self cleaning as i’m not at all breathless or wheezy , Willow is still a bit wheezy and neither of us has any energy

Wonderful to be a runner who can embrace all weathers! πŸ₯³ No wonder sometimes described as seasoned runners🀣

Going out in crazy weather is one of the best bits, sometimes but not always while you're doing it, but always when you're back home and warming up! Certainly makes you feel alive πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I have to confess, as much as the heat during the summer made things tougher, I am looking forward to it being both warmer, and lighter in the evenings again.
