Snow ❄️!! almost

[SueAppleRun]

Well!! The promised snow didn’t arrive and disappointed didn’t cover it, we’ve had no snow for a couple of years now

Phone call from work, need a mental capacity assessment and can’t find one, so out came the laptop, found the necessary forms, emailed them over, another phone call

It’s snowing !! not the sort that is seen north of us, just the odd white flake if you look hard enough, the park wasn’t too busy so we set off, Willow mentioned being cold 🥶 that wind was biting, maybe more clothes would have helped, 2k in and Willow was still cold so headed back to the car and I headed fir the beach..... gentle running, realised my breathing had settled, legs felt like they could keep going forever at this pace, past the lake, dodging people and breathing through my buff, what a wonderful invention they are!

Across the road, onto the beach, no sand to run on so a quick couple of photos to prove I was there 😂

Along towards town, back across the road and heading back to the car, nice and warm now pushed my sleeves up, ooo that wind bites in bare skin and flakes of snow sting so pushed them down again

Kept it slow, a nice easy run, 4k as i got back to the car, shall i go twice round the track to get 5? nah Ill go home, Zombies Run tells me I’ve done 5k because I started it to include the warm up walk.

New leggings with a phone pocket in arrived in the post yesterday, they are wonderful I love them and don’t even notice the phone

Photos, self explanatory really, me on the beach, park all green in case the rest of the country is white , amaryllis that was my secret santa present at Christmas

Have fun, run strong and happy and enjoy Sunday

I’m going to soak in a hot bath and cook roast beef for dinner x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Nice run today for you, there is some snow in your area, probably won't settle as you are near the sea, but it's nice to see some snow because you haven't had any for years.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

It’s nice big flakes now, we are hoping for a bit more lol 😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

PS, if the snow lies and gets deeper you can post a photo for us all to see. 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

I probably will 😀

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Well done! That wind was biting, I was so glad it actually seemed to only be blowing in one direction, so it was behind me as we walked down from the Dyke.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes very biting, I got nice and warm then pushed up my sleeves was contemplating taking my hoodie off when i realised my arms hurt from the cold, it’s wet and a bit sloppy running on the grass round people i can’t wait for dryer days when i’m not so scared of falling over

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Oh yes. I think we’ll all be glad when drier days are here!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Spring is only a few weeks away

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It is 🥰🥰🥰 the daffodils and catkins are marking its arrival.

[Indielass00]

Sounds lovely! We haven’t had snow for two years either! Would love some snow ❄️.Good that you got out though. Leggings with a phone pocket sounds great!

What time is the Roast beef ready ? Can you set me a seat at the table please? I do love roast beef? 😋😂

Are you making Yorkshire puddings? 😀

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Indielass00]

You’ve got half an hour to get here 😀mind you I’ve made chicken packets fir tomorrow, that’s chicken breast with stuffing, cheese sauce and bacon bits wrapped in pastry, once everything is cold I will wrap them up and put in fridge to cook tomorrow, Willow will put in oven half hour before i’m due home

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

No Yorkshire puddings today, we had roast potatoes, broccoli, leeks, carrots, sweet corn and beef we wouldn’t have fit Yorkshire puddings in

[Indielass00 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I got a bit obsessed with your dinner! 😂 Haven’t had roast beef in over a year! Sounds delicious! The chicken sounds amazing too 😁I love cooking. Made a nice veggie curry last night. Didn’t mean to side track off the running! 🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Indielass00]

Vegetable curry sounds lovely, that’s ok, nice to talk about food

[Indielass00 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Well I was all for going out and getting Beef myself after reading your post and then my OH said he wasn’t that keen on Roast Beef!! 😮🤦🏻‍♀️So I did Roast chicken instead. My 2yo not a fan of roast dinner yet but everyone else was happy! 😀

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Indielass00]

Yum, I love roast chicken and she will get to like it too before long

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done on getting out in the cold (snow or no snow) - I’m glad I ran yesterday, although it looks as though the cold weather is back for most of the week!❄️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

It was the coldest I’d noticed it, and those tiny snow flakes did sting, but a slow run was enough for me today

[dijep Graduate10]

It sounds like you had a lovely run, and I'm envious off our phone pocket. I bought some winter leggings which are lovely but my phone won't fit in the pocket! Having rained all day yesterday it then started snowing like mad last night as I went to bed, a proper blizzard. Thankfully all gone this morning 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

I’ve been waiting all winter for snow and it’s turned to rain again but more forecast later

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. My son is in Bristol and he says the same, it snowed last week there but had disappeared within an hour.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

Never seems to last long in the south

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

Depends on size of phone too, i’ve gone back to the slightly smaller iphone se

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes mine is slightly longer/ taller than most which is the problem, luckily I've a warm top with a big zip pocket so I keep wearing that.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

Sounds perfect

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done you two. We were out there with you today Sola and that wind was so cold. I had a ski base layer as well as my warm zip up top, buff and gloves and the wind was still blowing through.

We had a bit of weak sunshine this morning but the grey clouds have come in from the East. No snow yet but we will definitely have the ice.

Keep warm

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Now I know why we were cold, leggings, tiny strappy tee and a hoodie, Willow put on joggers and gloves, buff and music hat, Willow forgot his hat Obviously not enough but 49 minutes of gentle running and even my hands were warm by the time i joined Willow back in the car

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Sounds like a good run...envious of your leggings with pockets...what make are they?

Advantage of rubbish weather...not many other people out and about 😉

I decided on another 2 recovery days before my next run...so went up my allotment, gosh it was bitter cold! 🥶

Trust me...snow is NO fun...you’re welcome to it 😂☃️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

an unpronounceable name I will send you photo in messages

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Sounds perfect...we’ve had snow here for the last week or so..it was fluttering last night but did t settle..now it’s flooding everywhere. Snow looks beautiful, everything looks so pretty all in white...glad you managed to have a little bit x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mummycav]

Thank you, there’s a little bit more now, my car is covered with a dusting and plant leaves are white

[030961 60minGraduate]

‘Cor, what a day, lovely fun run, then roast beef.....doesn’t get much better! snowing quite heavily now here in the east.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 030961]

We’re on the coast in sussex and only a dusting but we may get lucky

[Hidden]

Brilliant run for you today and smashing pictures. Also can I ask .....where did you get your leggings from with phone pocket and where is the pocket?And lastly does your phone stay safe? “Gosh which question do I answer first “? .....I hear you say.🤣🤣x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, got the leggings from Amazon, pocket on the outside of each thigh, they are called yoga pants and the pocket is long enough and snug enough for my iphone se might be a bit of a squeeze for a bigger phone, it didn’t move though so was perfectly safe, i can get iphone 7+ in which is bigger, i couldn’t feel it as i was running too which was great, like it was stuck to my leg, I will send you a link in messages

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks Sola. I have an iPhone 7 and listen to music while running . I still use ear plugs with lightening lead for phone so perhaps the pocket on the thigh is not a good idea for me. So l think maybe an arm sleeve is the way to go. Never mind thanks for info👍👏👏Take care and happy running!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️X

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Have you thought about wireless ear buds? our aren’t expensive ones but they made such a difference I also now have a hat with headphones and a hair band with headphones, it’s a bit of a nightmare working out how to link the set i want to listen to

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes I think that’s the way to go. I have a flip belt and that was good to start with. However eventually I felt that I had a corset wrap around me . 🥴🥴After awhile it just rides up and by the time I’m home I can’t wait to take it off. 🤣🤣🤣x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

I do like wireless accessories

[GailXrunning]

Ah, I know that feeling of disappointment: where’s our (southern) snow? It’s just fluttered in the air all day. Hhhmmpph! Good run for you, though.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks, it’s been on again off again all day My colleague said this morning, if we get 6 inches I’m not coming to work tomorrow, I think she’s going to be disappointed

[GailXrunning in reply to SueAppleRun]

Haha, so many raised hopes being dashed! It’s now starting to form a thin crust in places here, and it’s making crackling sounds.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Similar here, more to come down during the night maybe, I live close to work though so have no excuses even if we got loads

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Your run sounds lovely, you seem to enjoy cold runs! Oh, I really wanted a roast beef dinner when I read your post earlier! And now I’ve read about your chicken packets! All sounds delicious.

We haven’t had any snow here at all, but I’m pleased as I hate driving if there’s snow and I feel isolated enough as it is! It’s just been very cold today.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

Oh flip, thank you so much, I’ve made all the individual ingredients and forgot to go back and put them together, lol, Willow washed up and later he made tea, i didn’t go in the kitchen, i better do that now 😂we both hate going out in the cold but i still want to go, poor Willow less so

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

Not so much fun if you are far from things you need and it snows

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Hi Sola,

Ah glad you got your snow!!! ❄️ ☃️🌨

Well done to you and Willow for going out in those weather conditions 💨 🥶.

That is nice that you treated yourself to a new pair of running leggings, having a pocket on the leg is so useful.

Great photographs you look so healthy, loving the amaryllis.

Your roast beef dinner sounds delicious what a lovely Sunday.

Take care

Rebecca

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Good morning Rebecca Thank you so much for your comments, we have some snow here this morning so are very excited

Have a lovely day x

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]
