Crunch, crunch, crunch W2R3

[first_mate]

Finally had a chance to complete week 2 after postponing the final session yesterday. With the pavements too slippery and the park boggy I didn't feel it was going to be safe to run, being accident prone at the best of times. But today, thanks to a very chilly night, the ground was frozen solid. So I headed off up the park after work.

I gingerly started out on the warm up walk and the ground felt OK. When Laura gave the cue off I trundled. It wasn't easy, the legs felt heavy but after more huffing and puffing I was at the cool down walk before I knew it. Loved the crunchy noise from the snow as I went along. Something very satisfying about it.

Pleased I managed to get out there today. Looking forward to Week 3 kicking off on Monday

Well done for getting out there - it's not easy when the weather seems to be against us!

Thank you I didn't want to find excuses not to go, so glad I made it out there x

I'm starting Wk3 Monday too (looks too wet tomorrow!)

[first_mate Graduate in reply to KS69]

Not sure how it's going to be here in the morning, at least the rain has got rid of most of the snowy stuff now x Good luck for W3 x

I wish I'd gone this morning now, didn't seem as bad as the forecast. But looking forward to tomorrow I think!! It sounds a bit daunting..

I know what you mean I just downloaded the podcast, I've said to hubby that he might need to put oxygen by the front door for when I get home lol. We can do this. Just got to pace it right x

[KS69 Graduate in reply to first_mate]

Haha yep - and good luck to anyone else starting Wk3 tomorrow!

Excellent post! Well done! Sounds like you had a great run! It's a great sound isn't it? When I was 2 we had lots of snow, I loved going outside in it, trouble was, it would all fall inside my wellies because I was so small! Didn't bother me, but I now understand why my mum insisted I take them off outside the front door. Little mounds of snow would come out of them as I removed them! Happy running to you! 👏🏻👏🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻😀😀

Well Done! W3 for me on Monday too - hope that blooming wind drops and it warms up a bit, legs seem heavier in the cold, and at 6 stone overweight they're heavy enough already...xx

[first_mate Graduate in reply to ANewMe2022]

Thank you. Good luck for W3. Must admit I'm not a fan of the wind :\ I do find I soon start warming up once I get moving. We can do this x

Oh I love that crunch too! If you can get out early in the morning or just after the snow falls, the air feels so much cleaner too. I love making a trail through untouched snow but you need to get up early here to beat the taboggans

[first_mate Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Yes it's fun making the first tracks in the snow. My spaniels love playing in it, they act like puppies lol. x

[GoogleMe Graduate]

[first_mate Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]
