Week 8 Run 1 - Here we go round the misty lake....

...on a cold and frosty morning!

At my other half's suggestion, we dropped the kids off at school then went to a local lake with the dog - I ran, while she walked the dog round it. A lovely setting - cold and frosty, but as a result lovely and clear. Off I set, meeting up with Julie at last, and four laps later (it's only a small lake) Laura's telling me I'm done for the day!

Now, I started off with hat and gloves, and was wearing thermals under my normal running gear - the question is, do I stick with that or get some "proper" running gear - I think if I get some of the male running tights, my wife will disown me!

Go with the running tights. I thought the same, but bought some two weeks ago and love them. A lot warmer than shorts, and more comfortable to run in than tracksuit bottoms.

Cant be any worse than thermals.

Sounds like a good run :-) my husband wears running tights with shorts over the top to avoid his blushes ;-)
