Blinking Weather ❄️❄️☃️

Morning Everyone😊 it's my run day but the weather is appalling so running outside is not an option..... way too old to risk a fall😂. So I'm going to do wk4r3 on the treadmill. I was going to wait to see if it got better over the next couple of days but the forecast is not looking any better. See you later people, be careful out there, we don't want any broken bones or sprains ❄️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️❄️

Great plan... it is so frustrating... many of us in the same situation. Well done you!

I suppose if we are crazy enough to start this just after Christmas, its only to be expected, UK weather is never good at this time of year. 😊

I Graduated the Week before Christmas in 2015... and I had a very wet and windy time...The frost and ice and snow did come afterwards in January...But.. the Spring will follow and the ice and snow will melt... we just have to be patient and know that the runs wait:)

It is fabulous...Many of my posts... reflect all the change... I have a diary of all of the runs of my first two years!

Now that's a good idea, I got a lovely note book for Christmas that will fit the bill nicely 😊

Yes in same position here but no treadmill. Have to take 2 day gap and get back on it. Having routine days has really helped me stick with it, don’t like it when it’s thrown out!

I like my routine too. I like to finish a week on a Friday so I've got 2 days before a new set. Hope the weather your area picks up soon. 😊

Thx I manage 2 runs at work and one at weekend. I’m loving the headspace away from desk and frenetic family demands!

Hi I'm in the same position watching the weather every day but not a gym member so just have to wait! 😥

Thankfully I have been a gym member for years. If you've one near you see if they do a daily pass, most of them do these days... the price is usually between £5-£8 depending on the quality of the gym. Take care 😊

Always get a fellow feeling on this Forum. Here I am in the south and no run because of the slippery snow. Grrr. But I’ve picked up the idea of a running diary and also will take on the “running slow to see more” point of view. So two good things from today, in spite of the snow! Thanks, folks. 😄👏🏼☃️❄️

It's possible that my parkrun may be cancelled tomorrow (Marple). If so it's either round and round the football pitch in the snow again or hold off until Sunday and try to catch up. :(

It really is a pain this weather 😩❄️. I usually play golf a couple of times a week, it's been 2 weeks since I played cause of bad weather and now it's messing up my runs ... Grrrrrr Fingers crossed for your park run 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻
