Mad, exhilarating, fun and hard.

Against my head saying no and body saying yes, I headed out to my well trodden windfarm trails.

I have never run in deep powdery snow, it was -4 and felt like -10 at least. It certainly gave me a good workout, albeit one of my slowest runs. Really enjoyed it although a bit scary. Not so bad as I would do it again!!!😱

Stats 7.63km in 1.06.16 and the last run on JJMP timed plan. Hopefully onto the distance plan next week.🤞

Safe running to everyone in this weather. ❄👍.

Well done on getting out . It does give you a full workout running in snow like that. It slowed me down too but I enjoyed it❄👏👏

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks, really enjoyed it but tonight my quads are complaining.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Yes, I've got that as well 😊

[Alvor]

Oh well done. I know the wind farm well and it can be wild up there. 🥶

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Alvor]

Hi Alvor, good to hear from someone who is familiar with this place. Usually it’s blowing a gale and makes the running equally as challenging. The snow is a pleasant diversion.

I bet that was great fun!! Wish we had snow so I could give it a go

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Lookslikejames]

It was fun but hard, the old legs are telling me so tonight. Wish I could send you some snow!!❄️❄️

[Hidden]

Wow, what a great run, sounds exhilarating and that sure looks wintery, so cold 🥶, I’ll look forward to having a go one day, not one single flake of snow here in Norfolk 😀

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

It looks amazing but very challenging, sometimes I just wish for normal weather.🤞

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Well done! It certainly looks very white up there. It must have been tough going through that snow! 🥶 But yes - I can get that it would be exhilarating too!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you and yes pretty tough, achey legs tonight. It looks as if it’s thawing a little🤞😁

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

That snow looks wonderful, we just seem to have never ending ice. That was a great workout run, a wonderful new experience for you. Well done. Happy running 🤗

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs, really did enjoy it, but also hope it doesn’t last too long.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Wow all that beautiful snow and you still went fir a run, you are awesome

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you W and S you are too kind. It was fun, but hopefully thawing slightly tonight. Probably back to the usual rainy weather tomorrow.💦🙏🏼

[acountrycabbage 60minGraduate]

Wow! That looks like great fun 🤩 Crackin’ distance considering, too! 👏🏼 Well done for being brave enough to take it on!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to acountrycabbage]

Thanks cc, some might call it silly rather than brave. Honestly, for me I just needed to do it and it’s another running✅.

[acountrycabbage 60minGraduate in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Oh I don’t know - surely the more snow there is, the more crunchy/less slippy it feels underfoot?

Great you came home safe and sound anyway 👍🏼

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to acountrycabbage]

It didn't actually feel sloppy at all, I was really surprised.

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to acountrycabbage]

Meant slippy🤣

[acountrycabbage 60minGraduate in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

My phone made the same mistake..! 😂

[Hidden]

Well done! It looks beautiful 👍

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, in the snow it does look amazing, but when blowing a hoolie it’s not so nice🤭

[Slothgoesrunning Graduate10]

I’m super impressed you even attempted this run- I would have been admiring the snow from the comfort of a toasty house! Must have left so good after completing it. 🙌🏻

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Slothgoesrunning]

Did feel good but pretty tired, thawing this morning and left with dangerous ice😱. Hope it’s all gone tomorrow.🤞

[Hidden]

What a magical photograph ❄️☃️

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

When you’re up in the wind farm tracks it is magical in the snow. Usually have it all to myself and in these times it’s good to get away by yourself.🙏🏼

[Over62]

Just awesome 👏 happy running

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

Thank you, although it has all now thawed, back to rain for tomorrow.
