I'm so glad I got to go out before lunchtime as it has been truly hideous weather here since then. I don't blame you for giving it a miss!

Hi, don't give it a miss. Think of it this way, the harder it is the more stamina you develop.Even if you don't complete the session, you will feel better for it. As long as you've given it your best shot. I Finished my second 5K tonight in 37 mins and I'm 64 next month. So come on, get out there. Good luck. Mel

Believe me I have done..where I live has been nothing but rain wind and cold for weeks and even my husband (a runner himself) has questioned my sanity in going out, but tonight was the last straw.So tomorrow it is...but thanks for the encouragement...it is appreciated x

I don't blame you either! It's just no fun at all running in wind like this - it's got to be a biiiiiit fun I reckon :)
