[turnturtle Graduate]

Well I WAS going to do a parkrun but the howling wind all night and one look outside through the rain-spattered bedroom window at 7 made me change my mind. I am such a wimp...

[givman in reply to turnturtle]

hi there

I was the same but glad I did it in the end cos the weather cleared up just before 9am!!

Gra

[simonwilliamstutor Graduate]

[givman in reply to simonwilliamstutor]

[Mat30 Graduate]

It was very cold at 05:50 this morning when I went out for my Saturday run and windy but no rain.

[givman in reply to Mat30]

well done Matt!! gosh thats early!!

[Mat30 Graduate in reply to givman]

Yes unfortunately I do 2 of my runs before work otherwise I wouldn't have the motivation to go out after work. Lazy I know but the early ones work for me.

[givman in reply to Mat30]

mat

yes good idea although this time of year it can be a bit tricky cos of icy paths etc!!

Gra

[JoolieB1 Graduate]

Looks fantastic now but the forecast for this morning was horrible and it was windy and cold. Missed going to parkrun but in the end decided to run yesterday instead, glad I did. Hope all the dedicated parkrunners are nice and warm by now

[givman in reply to JoolieB1]

lol yes am nice and warm now!!

[Sharonb9999 Graduate]

I braved it - when I started it was cold and after 10 minutes the rain came, which turned to sleet. I carried on though and it stopped (still cold though). I was glad a kept going because I managed 10.5km!

[givman in reply to Sharonb9999]

well done to you great effort!!

[sarah469 Graduate]

Just back from parkrun, oh my gosh it was freezing today! Gloves needed desperately!

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to sarah469]

I chickened out of parkrun and ran yesterday when the weather was more certain!

[turnturtle Graduate in reply to JoolieB1]

A girl after my own heart!

[givman in reply to sarah469]

hi sarah

Yes i wore full kit and hat and gloves today!!

Gra

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to givman]

I misread that - surely no one runs in a kilt??? lol

[givman in reply to Curlygurly2]

Lol

No Kit not Kilt!!

Meaning bottoms and thermal top!!..as well as hat and gloves!!

Gra

[givman in reply to Curlygurly2]

[nhs2015 Graduate]

It was nice and sunny with a lovely sea breeze this morning. Mmmmmm, beautiful.

[givman in reply to nhs2015]

lucky you! where are you?

Gra

[nhs2015 Graduate in reply to givman]

Western Australia. Today my finance minister suggested a picnic in the bush along the Stirling range. I could have a run along the river and brook. Great, except it was minimum 36 degree. No Way! Walked instead. We love the area but so did the snakes, million of flies and billion biting March flies. It is this time of the year.....

[givman in reply to nhs2015]

blimey

that is hot !!

and uncomfortable!!

Gra

[Old_trout Graduate]

Take it from me, it's jolly cold out there!!

[AndyD Graduate]

The cold is fine... but the wind... what's that about!!! On my long run yesterday I went across open land on the Somerset levels and i could hardly walk let alone run. I kept a brisk walking pace up for a K or so and my heart was still going some so not a wasted walk. Still my overall time was pretty good which was probably a result of having the wind behind me on the way out

[givman in reply to AndyD]

andy

Blimey sounds rough lol!!
