‘Sno(w) joke!!

Hello lovely runningtons.

It’s cold, really quite cold. Yesterday morning we had snow. This morning more snow, though by lunch time most of it had gone. The MET office proclaimed I had a 1 hour window where it wasn’t going to precipitate, so I wrapped up a little: jogging bottoms, annoying Aldi compression top which makes me look fat, zip up fleece, light gloves, New woolly bobble hat from Sainsbury’s. off I went!

The run itself was pretty uneventful, felt good, not the fastest or the slowest. It turns out, though, that the MET office was telling porkies. Most of the Run was completed in a light snow flurry! Eventually I called it quits, after 20 minutes or so, because the pavement was quite icy and now going downhill, I didn’t want to risk another stint on the IC.

But I conquered the weather and ran, and yes, it was good!

If I can do it, anyone can!

Still jealous, still on IC. Physio says 2 more weeks. Grrrrr. Keep up the running and that Aldi top will end up too big.

Oh no sorry you’re still on the IC. I managed to aggravate my already moaning knee on my graduation run, and was on the IC for the best part of two weeks, so I know how you feel.

You WILL get through this, I promise, and enjoy it. The postgrad period is fun!!

Looking forward to getting off the IC some time 😔 - you do right avoiding going back there!

...and Laura says, "A bad run is better than no run," so at least you got a run in. That's good! Yesterday we had more than 3 inches here in Michigan. With trepidation, I set out in our car to the local Y, got there, and did my Stepping Stones run. Yay! By the time it was time to go home, the snow had stopped and the streets were more clear, making a safer drive home. Yay, us!
