Blimey! Just a bit chilly out this morning! Time (at last!) to break out the new long tights, long sleeves, big flouncy (long!) vest over the top, new fleece hoodie zipped up, new snoody neck thing, new running gloves! Oh the excitement!! 
40 mins later the only thing that had come off were the gloves…. Freeeeeeezing!! But it was such a bracing, beautiful clear morning, it certainly felt great to be alive, out and in it at 6.25am. Even if I couldn’t feel my legs below the knee… More like stilts. It was a bit of a hard, painful run, but it was also a wonderful one. Can’t grumble at that
Brrrrrr! A bit nippy out!: Blimey! Just a bit... - Couch to 5K
Brrrrrr! A bit nippy out!

Wow, sounds like you were wrapped up well and truly. Well done for braving the cold.
It's my first time in the cold as I started in May, so it's going to take a bit of getting used to I can tell!!!

Lol love the idea of a flouncy top I found my new long sleeved half zipped top to be a complete nightmare riding up and explosing flesh that only I ever see lol ... I tucked it in my running pants pulled my cap down 🏃🏼♀️👍🎃
Oh no! What is it about running clothes for women?! Nothing fits properly... hence my flouncy vest over my long sleeved top, which covers a multitude of sins! Therefore am usually very sweaty but not today! I need to move to Alaska!

Haha this made laugh l went out early this morning too 4 degrees temp just in leggings and thin tee shirt. l get so hot when l run l would just expire if l wore all that 😂😂 was a bit nippy at first though😬. I would leave a trail of clothes behind me😂
Me too am normally, sweating buckets! It was 4 here too and it was freeeeeeeeeezing!! You are amazingly brave in just a tee shirt. I thought I would have to strip off, but no, thank God for all those in close proximity, I kept it all on!
😂😂👍
I went out a bit more wrapped up yesterday morning and had to strip off too !
I am sooo pleased to have the cold weather. Last week's running at the coast was warm and mild and really good fun but now I am embracing the winter- in t shirt and leggings too

Blooming hummer, I’m freezing reading your post!!! That’s a lot of layers Fishypieface ...my turn to brave the cold in the morning...& I’m not prepared running kit wise, I just have a long sleeved running top...I’m sure I’ll be burning up after the first five minutes of running though...!! Brrrrrrrr
It was chuffing freezing! I usually sweat like a pig but not today. Couldn't take my top off anyway as had my blinking arm band on! Another faff to sort out! Good luck tomorrow, I think it's meant to be a bit warmer

Gosh how cold is it there? Was 2degrees here this morning when I went running at 5.30 and still had to remove running jacket and run in just my run top. I warm up very quickly
Me too...I’m like a boiled egg after 5 minutes!!! Lol 😂
Think it’s my age 😂😂😂
I’ve always been like that!!! I used to be a short distance runner...100 metres & I was like a raspberry afterwards!!! Lol 🙄
Wow, now that's cold (and early!!!!!). Normally I'm like a boil in the bad chicken, but today I was proper arctic

Sounds like a lovely run, but a bit bloody cold for me..!! Part of the reason I chickened out of running tonight was because it was soooo cold (and I had the ar*e ache and my knees were moaning a bit)... right, I've run out of excuses 😂
Really well done for being up and out at that time of the morning, whilst I'm still in snoresville 😴
I was awake at blinking 4am, then 5am, then 6am..... Clocks changing and all that crap 
. I just piled on everything I own and legged it It was a lovely, crisp sunny morning - worth the sleepless night (just about!)
Oh no, that is crap..!! I'm usually out like a light... do a zombie walk for a wee at some point in the night... then nothing again until my cup of tea and a kiss arrives in the morning 😂
Haha! Alright for some! I would love to sleep like a log, alas those days are over so might as well get up and do something useful. Plus it's the only time of day I get just for me! Bloody bliss!!
I've always been a sound sleeper (apart from the spells of night sweats and hot sodding flushes)..!! I so wish I could run in the mornings - body just says 🖕🏻🙄
Oh God yes I know what you mean!! Haha, mine says that too, any time passed 5pm!
I'm going to start a new community page "Painfully slow menopausal runners" 😂
I hope you have a better night tonight 😴
Fab sign me up!!
😂 You're in..!!
Me too!!
You're in too..!! 😂
Thats for me too! Especially no sleep !
...and another 🤗
Can you imagine??! 😂😂
We'll be crawling down the road, hot and sweaty with half of us crying and the other half killing any passer by that looks at us in a strange way 😂😂
Sounds like a perfectly normal run to me!
😂😂
