Went out last night and it was pretty cold even with a thin jacket so just did a couple of miles. I think I am going to try and limit my runs to 30mins whilst its cold... but hopefully get the best out of that time that I can!

in reply to AndyD

think it was about 2 or 3 tonight and misty rain , didn't wear a jacket yet but had gloves on :D the hot shower when i get back was wonderful though :D
