Didn’t run.

The snow had me worried, not because it’s cold, but it came down this morning and then melted, before starting again... and I was worried about the snow on ice thing, so no running today... tomorrow is looking good though.

Anyway, the above photo can give us all a little boost... if you haven’t already worked it out... spring is just around the corner.

Happy running.

Love this! I didn’t run either, too unsafe in the weather being undecicive. Hopefully tomorrow!

Cold this morning but no snow. Sun came out so all good.

We have that sun forecasted tomorrow and then a couple of days of rain.

Nice picture UNM, where I am in Central Scotland we had our first decent snowfall of the winter this morning, the 7pm temperature was - 2C/28F, I feel sorry for anyone having a run this evening in the cold and dark.

At one point we had at least an eighth of an inch settled 😂. Roads near here are closed so I can only assume the bulk of the snow fell the other side of the Pennines.

Love the photo! We've got snowdrops bobbing their heads in the woods, primroses shining in the garden and daffodils just starting to show shoots.

Safe to say it's a tad warmer in Wiltshire than in the Pennines!

You’re nearer to cider, it’s warmer, I miss the new forest... if it wasn’t for my hills I’d be moving back down there!

I thought what an odd picture. And started laughing when I read the post.

I toughed it out. And have stiff calf muscles. Probably from being worried about falling lol.

Haha. Love the picture. Didn’t run either because of the snow on ice thing. Don’t want to wish time away but looking forward to lighter ice free mornings 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I’ll settle for a good drenching in the rain tomorrow!

Haha pic had e stumped at first too! Anyways best to not run than risk an injury that prevents weeks of running!

Forecast so far says it's sunny at my run time tomorrow! Usually I don't run on Wednesday as I go swimming in the evening but I will do both as I really wanted to do my run today!

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toCrimsonMama

Oh... mine says sunny as well now... I’ll believe it when I see it! Both sounds good.. I could try and end at the pool one day.

CrimsonMama in reply toUnfitNoMore

I have faith in the forecast! Just this once lol...

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toCrimsonMama

It seems to be very accurate when it comes to the current weather, certainly quicker than opening the front door! Very changeable when it comes to more than a couple of hours ahead... maybe it’s because I’m in a valley.

Fabulous photo!! I like your style. I’m not running just now either - horrendous cough that’s really floored me. No appetite = no energy. Being sensible and waiting till I feel up to it. 🤞for tomorrow.

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toSybilw

I’d saved my first 5k of the year for today too... as a tribute to my early post grad work, I ran 3 miles exactly on Sunday 😂

Hope you’re better and back out there soon.

Thanks. Know I’m being sensible but at the back of my mind I wonder it I’m just avoiding the cold! I’m not. Why do we doubt ourselves?!

I'm supposed to run tomorrow but today we had some snow that started to melt and has now frozen quite slippy underfoot when out walking the dog tonight will see if there is any change tomorrow morning, this is the first time I won't have been able to run because of the weather . Fingers crossed it melts by tomorrow 🤞🤞

And there was I trying to work out why you're growing springs!!

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toantonioa

Spring greens maybe... soon time to get a workout turning the beds over and sowing the seeds... Chilli and tomatoes starting indoors even sooner.

Left house at 7pm. Back in house at 7.02pm. Shortest run ever. Too icy! Couldn't stand up let alone run!!

UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toAng33333

Not worth the risk for sure.
