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 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.

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?

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!!!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Šall in Elgin๐Ÿ˜€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.
