Anyway i did a bit longer walking to warm up then started my running o it was hard going & i thought i havent heard my nice lady telling me id done 5 mins 😊Checked my runkeeper & i hadnt pressed start😬😬 so made sure i did and !!!

Well done on getting out there Phyllis, and glad to hear you've now done two of the three 5km runs you wanted to complete in this week. One more to go...keep it going! x

Well done! You're putting me to shame- you're doing brilliantly! it started hailing just as I was getting ready so yet again I chickened out! Going to try and get out on Sunday. It will be a whole week since last trot!

I had a good few days break last week only got 2 runs in but so hard to get out in the dark cold nights at least we might both get out in day light on Sunday!! Let's go for it....😊😊😊x

I decided to go for it! Went out this morning and ran 4K. It started hailing at one point which wasn't much fun, but I feel so much better for having gone out. Going to try really hard this week to get back to 3 runs a week. Thanks for your support.

I've just seen your map "New Elgin", do you think that's where my marbles have gone? 😂😂 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ Great running, despite the cold 👌🏻 😊

[Pc59 Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

Well it very well could be😂😂guess what when I'm on my haphazard tour of Elgin il look out for them!! These days you never know where I will be😂😂x

[Joy57 Graduate]

Sounds brilliant! I don't care what I look like these days either - not even with red face and hair everywhere. Is New Elgin near Elgin?

[Pc59 Graduate in reply to Joy57]

Yes it is in Elgin just an area like bishopmill is on one side of Elgin & new Elgin on opposite! To confuse things the area I live in is called little Canada!!!😊😊😊all in Elgin😀x

I know from Parkruns in the cold that after 10 minutes in I am quite warm. An experience runner once said to dress as if it is 10 degrees warmer than it actually is to compensate for warming up during the run, it is just the hopping around before the run that you feel the cold.
