Hiya and welcome to a new week.

Sometimes we don't feel like putting a whole post up but just want to share something small, so this is a great place for doing that during the week.

If youre a lurker it is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy week,

Juju, Realfoodieclub, Oldfloss, Millsie-J and Jan-now-runs

Can I just say how much I’m not looking forward to going for my run tonight?! It’s expected to be -3 by the time I get home and can go out. Brrrrrr.

Although it’ll be a chance to test my new buffs which have been delivered today... ;)

You can do it, Rainbow and we know you will.

It is jolly cold out though, this morning I had two long sleeved tops on, that is very rare for me. Nice and toastie when I got back though!

Enjoy 😃

Heading home on the bus now... it’s apparently been snowing a bit this evening, so I don’t fancy my chances of persuading either daughter to come running with me tonight! 😂

I'm starting week 5 tomorrow and looking forward to it!

A friend and I decided to sign up for a 10k that is happening in June. A nice distance away so plenty of time to train. It's giving me motivation to keep at it! And worse case scenario is we walk part of it. :) My only concern is so far I run on relatively flat ground and the race is a fairly hilly trail run. I'm excited though as I've never done anything like this before.

On the basis that neither child is likely to come running in snow with me (their loss!), I'm quite looking forward to a snowy W6r1 tonight. I just hope I get some actual snow while I'm running! :)

Take care running on snowy ground, easy to twist an ankle when you can't see potholes, curbs...

I’m lucky that I have access to a very quiet (out of hours!) park with well maintained paths - no curbs or potholes at all! But yes, I was particularly careful in the car park area where it was quite icy with compact snow underfoot. As always I had RunKeeper recording my run, but I really wasn’t bothered in the slightest about pace or distance - the only important thing yesterday was getting around safely. If it had felt slippery I would have given in and gone home, don’t worry!

W6r2 as soon as I get myself changed and get out there. But it’s so easy to just carry on cuddling my very happy cat and put it all off... I don’t know why but today I’m full of doubt that I can do this at all. Silly. So I’m posting here to make myself accountable and I have to just go and do it!
