Snow in Queensland !!! -- you are joking!!!!

Looks like the couch for me for the next few days!!

[CaminoPilgrim Graduate]

I hear you Bazza.... I haven't run since I got back from Bali mid June. I caught the flu which is just clearing up so was getting prepared to get back into it but I'm going to wait until this really cold snap is gone. I really admire those brave souls back in the UK who run throughout winter!

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to CaminoPilgrim]

Hey 251153 -- I really think you need to update your profile - we need more Aussies here!!

I got back from the US a few weeks ago - with a head cold !! It has taken me a few weeks to get back into it!!

Did you do any runs in Bali?? I did a few in Honolulu, around Palm Springs and even got to do a shortish run ( wearing jeans) along the rim of the Bryce Canyon at 8000 feet

[CaminoPilgrim Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

Sounds like a great trip to the U.S. Bazza.... I will see how I can update my profile. I did get to run in Bali along the beachfront however the best runs I did were around Gilli Air island. It was hard running on sand but was a perfect 5k run around the island.

Hey Bazza, just checked my profile and I have my country listed as Australia. What is it showing on here?

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to CaminoPilgrim]

I am not seeing that on the public view of your profile - if you go to "Edit profile" , you have to click on "SAVE" to be able to save any changes. Perhaps you didn't do that??

[CaminoPilgrim Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

I didn't make any changes so not sure why it's not showing Australia - what does it say on the public view?

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to CaminoPilgrim]

Just age and gender!!

[CaminoPilgrim Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

So is it not showing me in Australia?

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to CaminoPilgrim]

That's right I wonder if someone else would like to have a look at 251153's profile and see what I am saying about lack of location is correct??

[CaminoPilgrim Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

Sorry to confuse things I've just changed my profile name...

It's been 26 to 33 degrees in London for the last week. Horrible.

I want my cold, rainy early morning runs back!

[islandrunner Graduate in reply to Rob_and_his_westie]

totally agree. it's not even that hot up here in scotland, and from a running perspective I'm ready for autumn.

[Rupertlebear Graduate]

Brr - I had no idea one could find anywhere to ski in Australia! You live and learn.

Cool temps sound like bliss to me - get off that couch! 😀

[AncientMum Graduate]

Go for it. Bazza. Embrace the experience, just wear an extra t-shirt!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

I draw the line at ice, I can run if it's snowing just not when it laid, I do the rain if it is spitting. I love running in a drizzle, it brings out the big kid in me, worth a try once if you haven't tried it. It's got that feeling that your doing something you should of grown out of.

Another vote for running in the cold. If my shoes can grip the ground, I'm still going out. Much prefer cold temperatures as then I don't overheat. 20 degrees and over becomes uncomfortable.

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

IT was 22C here today at lunchtime - middle of winter though!!

[Hidden in reply to Bazza1234]

That's like high summer for uk, apart from the recent freak heatwave of course!

[Pigivi in reply to Hidden]

it's 15 here in Ireland - and it is the middle of Summer!!!

[nhs2015 Graduate]

Pop in to the Kimberleys. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right in the morning for a refreshing run. Overcast and windy today with 27 degree, but nicer tomorrow. They said 31 degree.

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to nhs2015]

ANOTHER Aussie - with no indication in the profile!! C'mon boys and girls!!!

I should also have said - I don't do running in the heat!!! Running in the Kimberleys??? _ I don't think so!!!

[nhs2015 Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

Nah, at 6am in the morning, it is just beautiful! You are missing out.

Just have to watch for king brown or centipedes.

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to nhs2015]

Well- yes! Even here in SE Qld, I run just on sunrise during summer . It's a beautiful time of day. Being winter now , it's a bit cold for me in the morning - I wait until it warms up to about 15-16C

[Daisyrun Graduate]

Madness! Enjoy your rest time.

[Usain_Balti Graduate]

Forget running for now, stay indoors and watch the 'Ashes'.

[ju-ju- Graduate]

wow...I would so love running in the snow. I desperately want to do this: icemarathon.com/

Perhaps I am a little crazy?

Stay warm Bazza

[runswithdogs Graduate]

Hahaha.... Dropping to zero? Perspective is everything, I'd love a sub-zero run instead of this heat. Next trip come to Canada for holidays Bazza. Maybe in January or February. I'll teach you

[FlyingScot Graduate]

Running in the rain is WONDERFUL!!! You don't know what you are missing. The first few strides are a bit wet but after that it is lovely- cooling, refreshing and....well just lovely! I get i, put kit straight in the wash then straight in the shower - fab!!! I am not odd (honest!!) - I know a great many fellow runners who love running in the rain - or maybe Devon rain is special?!
