Should have stayed on the sofa today...

[AndyD]

Had a great plan for a little run in recompence for the last couple of days eating....

Runkeeper wouldn't work... almost threw my phone over the hedge...

Legs and lungs didn't seem to want to work either...

Huge rain/hail storm hit me... had to stop under a tree for 5 mins... very painful hail...

Got cold and wet, so turned around for home and hot shower

3k sort of run/walked... tomorrow is another day.... will have a trot on a dreadmill if needs be

Hope you've all got on better today... happy running

Hey Andy big plus for getting out there in the 1st place , weather has been rubbish today , I managed a walk 7 and a bit km in rain.sleet and wind , still better than nothing and being on that couch tomorrow is another day

I expected lead legs, yesterday (well, Christmas cake & booze legs)...not so bad in the end, but I just thought being out at all was a bonus and didn't expect much! Set myself a short goal, like in the early days...also thought it wouldn't be so bad if I just ended up walking, given the over-indulgence. Sorry to hear it was a tough run...weather sounded horrid and glad that I don't have to rely on RK anymore. Well done on getting out...Here's hoping you'll be back on form soon enough.

Glad to hear you got on better than me, can't see anything wrong with taking it a bit easier now and then!

I don't do the whole Christmas thing, so I've just been out there as usual, but I've hardly seen another runner...guess everyone feels the same way.

Sorry to hear you had a tough time out there Andy. But at least you got out!

I went out for a run this morning but could hardly stay upright because it was so slippery. Came home and did 5k on the treadmill.

I feel your pain! I get so consumed in how awful I look and how unfit I am, I normally give in. Good on you for keeping at it. Tomorrow is another day!

[frannyfran Graduate]

That is a massive improvement on what you ran last Christmas! So don't put yourself down. Well done for going out.

Happy running.

[AndyD Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Thanks Franny... might have struggled to go out for a walk this time last year.... 12months later... all change

[poppypug Graduate]

Never mind Andy, best laid plans and all that At least you got out there mate and gave it a go.

I haven't been out since Christmas Day, it is too icy here and I am scared stiff of falling and breaking something. I am just hoping it will be better tomorrow. I am desperate to get out there considering I have eaten practically my own body weight in Christmas goodies ! xxx
