Ohhhhh the pain ........

[Buffy007]

.............. in my hands! It was so cold this morning: -1.9 But I did it - end of wk 3 and the sunrise was magnificent. As I finished my run, the sun was blazing straight down the road into my eyes and the music reached a crescendo. Oh, it couldn't have been better. (but I'll wear gloves next time!). And its miserable and snowing now, but this morning was something else. Into week 4 now with some trepidation. Just cannot believe I've been doing this for 3 weeks and come so far. Good old forum.

Ooo that's cold! Defo get some gloves. And ear warmers!

Never thought about needing gloves but had my hands tucked up my sleeves when I was walking!

i invested in some nice snuggly running gloves ,best investment so far it is surprising how quickly time passes doing this and how quickly we adjust to running 3 times a week it just becomes the norm , that is an acheivement in itself so really well done keep at it

I can't stand running in gloves, so tuck my hands into my sleeves til they get too hot and I have to free them

Sounds like a great time you had out there today. It's amazing isn't it what fun can be had outdoors on a freezing cold day. Calories burned and fitness built. What a day! I hope the rest of your day is as productive

Yep, great day - can only go downhill from here! Actually my hands were still cold when I'd finished - but never mind. Hope for some less severe weather next week (love your title 'misswobble' - sure I'm going to have loads of those along the way). Have a great day too.

What a lovely end to a great run Hope your hands have warmed up

I bought some great gloves from Aldi, they have a magic finger thingy so you can operate your touch screen phone etc without taking them off. £2.50, a bargain, but I have worn them exactly......once! Far too hot. I'm amazed at this running stuff, when I was a swimmer I was always cold, now I laugh at 1C!

Hey Buffy, what a great post , sounds like you had a really good run this morning.

My hands were freezing and I bought some gloves, but for some reason I dont like wearing 'em ! I do what Miss W does and tuck them up my sleeves till they get warm.

I was always one who felt the cold, but now I am the complete opposite xxx

This exercise lark seems to do nothing but good for everyone. Yes, it really was a stunning 'run' - but I obviously wasn't running fast enough to warm up! - but I don't care about that. Every day's been a success so far.
