I'm planning to go for a run in -1c tomorrow??? I never thought that would happen!

[Pc59 Graduate]

Good for you that was the temperature I came home in tonight😂running fair warmed me up😂😂enjoy your run !!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Pc59]

Good for YOU! I think it's going to have to be slightly faster than the very slow run I'd planned - we'll see...

[Flossie22 Graduate]

Have a great run in low temperatures. 🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️😀😀

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

Thanks. I feel like a wimp for even questioning it!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Hope it is a good one this morning Run well

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you... don't know why I feel nervous (apart from the fact that it's COLD!!). Have you done yours yet or are you planning for today?

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Bet you are still sweaty by the time you get home!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

I've done one run of the asics 10k plan - the first few runs are V.E.R.Y. slow one miles - last time I didn't get sweaty at all. This morning I think I shall just run!

Thanks Pc59 , Flossie22 , Oldfloss and Ullyrunner for the kick up the *!? I needed to get me out! It was glorious - bright, crisp and quiet with some lovely, smiley dog walkers. I managed to find a very old, very tatty thermal top to go under my t-shirt - I knew my legs would be fine but I was worried about my top: it occurred to me as I left the house that I could have worn anything! Doh! And, yes, Ullyrunner, glowing slightly!!

[Pc59 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

Good for you!! Get one of these buffs for your neck they are brilliant! Layers work a treat!! 😊enjoy...😨😨

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Pc59]

I've got one (yay Aldi!), I nearly took it but I have a close fitting, high neck hoodie which, coupled with the thermals, did the job. If it gets much colder I shall wear it tho. And it was lovely!

[Ullyrunner Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

Well done! These crisp mornings can be glorious!

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

And there was I thinking we had just given you the gentlest of nudges Glad to hear you had a lovely run. Rest now!

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

I should have started with "you're welcome", any time you need a nudge, just let us know. We're all good at cajoling on this forum!

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Just think of that rosy glow on your cheeks - or is that just me? 😏

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Nooooo... not just you! And it was lovely.

Lovely morning for a run wasn't it? I wore my buff headband style with a beanie on top, as suggested by misswobble (well she suggested a cap , I thought great idea)! I get really warm when I run but today this was perfect.

Used my new long sleeve base layer too under my running jacket. I was toastie when I'd finished but not over hot so all worked well!

Just got to remember my gloves now!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

It was gorgeous. Layers a definitely the way to go. I did a slow, short run and it probably took me longer to get ready than it did to get out but I'm so glad I made the effort! And, yes! remember your gloves - sooo much cosier!

[misswobble Graduate]

You sound like me this morning! I didn't wear gloves either, as I've not dug them out yet, but could have certainly done with them. I wore just my merino base layer. Normally it's too hot but as it was freezing, and I was only running a slow jog today (and it was NOT going to rain) I risked it. No jacket! Only a short walk home too, so I was ok to travel light.

Lovely and bright out. Leisurely jog round the local streets. Bliss!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

It was bliss, wasn't it (and set me up for a very annoying day battling bureaucracy!)? I had my gloves (thank goodness). Definitely glad I made the effort!
