No need to reply folks...but for those of us who are struggling a tad with the weather...and there are a few of us

Just take care and be safe...the runs will still be there

[Blitzy Graduate]

Hubby has invested in a treadmill, to ensure that I keep up my programme in inclement weather 😳 Decided it was cheaper than both of us joining a Gym!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Blitzy]

Sensible.. we had our cross trainer for the same reason...

I simply will not run in icy conditions...! But, walking with small runner in training, ( granddaughter in buggy) however is not an option... she loves her morning walk...despite compacted snow and icy pavements...slow and steady was never more appropriate!!!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Absolutely Floss. Better to wait until conditions are safe rather than risk injury or catch a cold. Running is supposed to be a fun activity, so even if almost at graduation better to wait until you can enjoy your success to the full.

What a great post.😊xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

True... most of us are being sensible... but it just is not worth real injury... apparently today, in the West Midlands was the worst day for ambulance call outs for slips, tumbles and falls!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

😯

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Not surprised. It's been hideous here; but I was ahead of the curve and went over on Monday. So, no, not running until the ice has gone.

[Hidden]

Yay! Raining here already. As long as it doesnt freeze over again . . .

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hurrah...we have probably never wished for rain so much in all our lives 🤣😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well... I love snow...bit ice... not really!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Snowing here again!!!

[Hidden]

Ah...love that bit from Bambi 😊 i slipped over today while walking my dogs 😕 cant wait for the rain tomorrow 😊 thursday is looking good 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If it has thawed tomorrow, Im going to run, rain or no rain. Mic, my partner, is muttering that tomorrow is going to be wet and cold and foggy x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

He is right! But..if it has thawed here.. I shall be out..just for a quick 1K!

Enjoy? your run

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Pah!!!you go for it hun 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Ouch!!! I had a Bambi incident..just after Graduation! Ouch too!

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

Oh dear...its not fun is it!!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

No...but entertaining for the watching wildlife!!

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

Haha yes 😁

[LiisaM Graduate]

I was walking outside on shoveled walkways on my off-running day and nearly landed on my rump a couple times on some icy spots. Your alert has been noted!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to LiisaM]

Sensible... better safe than sorry

[aliboo70]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Enjoy and be safe

[davelinks Graduate]

Need some yaktrax grips!😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Or.... some yaks x

[davelinks Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Up where you and others on here are maybe floss, down here it's not so bad, although I was slipping around a tad because my shoe soles are worn, good job I was holding onto slinky, so lesson learnt..😊

[Hidden]

Boo, still snow everywhere. Royal Mail have emailed me that they are going to attempt delivery, for the third day running (or rather not running!!!.

[Hillrunner2201]

Yaxtrax grips are brilliant! I hate walking on ice let alone running on it but with the yaxtrax I've managed to get a run in every day even on icy hills. I got some designed for running in but admittedly it's harder work running in them than it would've been normally so I've only done short, slow runs but still a good investment.

[HeleneCorsa Graduate]

Ah, what a lovely clip. Take care out there folks - or better still, skip the runs until the conditions are safer. (Thumper has good ice technique though).

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to HeleneCorsa]

I thought that...
