Thank you, I was a bit apprehensive it was worse in some areas, I was more worried about missing out on going out and going backwards with getting fit :(

You are very sensible on not running week 8 run 1 today because of the icy conditions.

It might have been ok, but I thought a day or two off would damage my fitness less than a broken limb 😄 Forecast is for slightly warmer weather as the week goes on, so hope to be out soon.

The weather forecast is for milder weather especially for Friday before it gets colder again on Saturday.

That’s what I thought. Keep safe yourself if you’re out x

Very icy where I live in Cumbernauld this morning, I went a brisk 45 minutes walk with members of a walking club I recently joined, some of them would like to start C25K. 😊

Good to hear you’re still spreading the word ! Lovely day for a walk, as long as it’s not too slippery underfoot.

Was a little slippery but no person in the club fell.

Well done... careful on that ice. Week 3 has nothing to throw at you that you aren’t ready for... enjoy.

Thank you I'm loving all the encouragement, what happens if I have to miss one due to bad weather?

Then that run has to wait out in the cold for its ass to be kicked! It won’t hinder your progress if you just pick your days around the ice.
