It's cold and windy and grey out there, and I really don't want to go for a run.. I want to sit indoors by the fire and read a good book.

But I'm going... Post again later

You'll feel much better sitting by that fire later knowing you've just got back from a great run.

Go on... You know you want to really! You'll feel so much better sitting next to the fire later knowing you went ;-)

Cold? Windy? Grey? What are you waiting for? Those are perfect running conditions in my opinion!! (but then I am a bit strange like that!) Enjoy🏃🏻🙂🏃🏻

I do early morning in summer. Once tried evening, but swallowed too many bugs :)

Only Swanage in Dorset but i prefer the cold to being too hot.

I love Dorset - you are very lucky, although it's pretty 'undulating' isn't it?

Yes which i found out last week on 1 of my runs as i went a different route which was too hilly and uneven for me, i usually run up Durlston country park which is a lovely place to run and end up along Swanage beach which is also great with the sun rising.

And the fire and book could still be enjoyed with the addition of a saintly/smug glow 😀
