Getting out running on cold days

It definitely is not easy to get out on really frosty, cold days!

But I’m trying to take the advice that I’m reading from so many posts here and trying to be kind to myself (I say this to others but don’t listen to myself!) So I’m off for a run just now and whatever I do, that will have to do!

That’s a beautiful view! Run, walk, run-walk, anything else, however you got active is a bonus. I’m finding just being outside such a mood boost today with such bright sunshine, even though it’s absolutely freezing. Hope you had a fantastic time and felt proud of whatever you ended up doing. ❤️

As always, thank you.

I did get out and I am very happy with that. I’m taking all exercise in this freezing weather as a big win right now!

That’s what my running coach has been saying to me. Everything you can safely do will help, whether that’s running, walking, strength exercises. I worry I will lose fitness but being kind to ourselves and doing what we can is always best. And we’re fitter than we think so it doesn’t disappear as quick as we worry.

Congratulations on your run. It is lovely to be out in the sunshine ☀️

As hard as it is to get out there, a beautiful view like that makes it so well worth it Oldlady64 . Don’t have set a set time or distance, just switch on those Christmas songs and go back if you get too cold.
