Nearly didn’t go out this morning as sleet was forecast last night for this morning. However struggled out of bed to find it not even frosty so donned my gear and off I went not quite 4 k but enough to say it was a run. And a bit faster than my last run so all in all a good 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

The wind chill can be wicked. I managed to get home before the 🌧 came down

The weathers not always right is it Scruff55 and it worked well for you. On the other hand our forecast was spot on , we have snow. Well done 👏

Yes our weatherman was way out with sleet but the rain ☔️ arrived just after I got home. So I was 👍

Fantastic, can I ask what you wear to keep warm in this weather, and do you run in trail trainers? I was slipping all over the place last week 😮 it really put me off. With Christmas round the corner I’m hoping that Father Christmas brings running gear! Keep up the good work! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I’ve got a thin ski top (M&S) and today I put on a thin fleece top and was just right. Footwear is brookes ravels I tend to stick to the roads at the moment but live in a village so they’re not gritted but I was ok this morning. It’s been a bad year for sloshy leaves this autumn so while I like running in the autumn I don’t like the leaves 🍁

Thanks for this, I’ll look into some warmer layers. I don’t like the leaves either, they can be really slippery. There’s so many challenges but it keeps us in our toes! You’ve done well to go straight back to 4K runs after having time off. I missed a couple of weeks and went back to week 4 of couch to 5k! I’m a bit of a whimp 😂

I took 2 weeks off after my fall and run with my splint on now I did use jog run sprint for few training sessions early on after falling. I think this helped me a bit.

Sounds like a great run! Well done 👏👏We're having a very wet day today so not too cold but it's supposed to get colder for the weekend. It's definitely been feeling more wintry lately❄️
