My first run in the snow

I thought running in the rain was fab but just had a fab 30 mins run in the snow.

Never in a million years did I think I would love anything enough to don a beanie hat LOL๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's great! I ran week 6 in the snow. I ran laps of the village playing field with about an inch of snow on. My sister said I was mad! You Enjoy it โ˜บ

Thank you. We really are mad. X

The hat is great! I would be a bit worried about slipping but I guess if you go slow and main thing is its only my week 1 so I may get braver. I bet it felt good to be home.

It wasn't really laying until towards the end so it was OK.

We passed several runners early this evening, Jules. I wonder if you were amongst them. My daughter reckoned they were all crackers! :)

Maybe, Iran up woodbridge road to the roundabout by the hospital and then back down Colchester road and towards your way a little as I was only on a 30 min run xx

That's true commitment. ... well done for still getting out there in the cold.

We are just getting the cold snap now in the south of England and not sure I'm as brave as you!

It truly was amazing. Only ran for 30 mins but I felt like I'd conquered the world x

Well done you! Don't think I'd have risked the snow though.

Snow... (insert nostalgic sigh *here*). You look fab. I'd cover up those ankles though, brrr.

Here in the South we have clear blue skies and bitingly cold wind. Looks like I'll be running with a hat too...

Yeah wind is bad here too mfam. I don't usually like the snow as its a pain but it was good last night.

Tomorrow I'm running with some friends along the sea front. Now that is going to be mighty windy x

Not what you're looking for?
