Sitting in kitchen looking at the light snow/sleet fantasising about running with only one layer and no puddles to leap 😝. How quick will it be to get out the door and just run 🏃‍♀️ and how much nicer with sun on my face and not so stuff joints 🙌

Dry ground can make such a lot of difference. My routes across the fields are in the usual winter Somme like condition, so, like you I am looking forward to some dry weather. We haven't had the cold down here, but boy is it wet.

Keep dreaming..........it will happen.

I looked out today and there was no way I was going without three layers. I’m also looking forward to spring when I can just run with one layer on!

Yep - can't believe it was a three-layer run, also with hat and buff, socks and legwarmers here and I didn't even take the jacket off, and I usually heat up a lot.

Still good though eh and you get the glow of satisfaction and solidarity with the other non-fairweather runners!

Has to be minus 10 for me to pop a short sleeved t shirt over my long sleeved t shirt. Looking back some of my early struggles were about being overdressed (although I think until the session is more run than walk, it probably needs more layers)

For me that would be the number of buffs worn!

Not what you're looking for?
