It was -10 at 8 o'clock this morning . Now I've ran in -4 and managed ok but that lower temperature is a whole new level. So I've just bought a running body warmer and gloves . 😊

Ah great I’ve been wondering which brand to try

I have those! They are great! I am a size 8 in normal clothes and bought XS... They fit perfect, but I do have to wriggle into the waist as I pull them up passed my hips (which are not wide 😉) Rest assured, they will not fall down! 🤣 xxx

No, no, no! I will not subject my body to such punishment so early bin the day! I wait till it, and me, are warmed up and the kinks have dropped out!

I wasn't running today anyway this is my weekend off. But i was out with the dog and it would have cut you in two😊

Hi Smelliepoo, there was one of those 5K Santa Dash runs near to where I live, Buddy34 lives about 7 miles away, by the time the Santa Dash began, it got a bit warmer at - 5C, I was a spectator, was speaking to one of the runners after the run and guess what, she was a marshal volunteer at the parkrun I was at yesterday, she saw me running, congratulated me on my time and hoped to see me again soon, as they say,"it's a small world" of all the 400 runners who took part in that run today I spoke to one who saw me at parkrun yesterday 😊🏃🏾

I can't believe you ran in -4, doubt I'd even leave the house in -10! How do you avoid the ice? That's the scary bit for me. ❄☃️

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate in reply to FatterPenguin

It's strange it been freezing but not icy as we've not had any rain 😊

Thankfully I don’t have to cope with that, it rarely goes below 0 in Auckland. I miss many things from the U.K., weather ain’t one of them :)

How cold. It was -1 here and I thought that was cold -10 I would be walking the dogs with my dressing gown and quilt.

I bought a ski jacket in January and it's great for those temperatures. I don't ski by the way 😂

Your much braver than me . I don’t mind the cold but there’s cold then there’s cold.

Wow that’s a bit nippy 😯Been 7C here all weekend & thought that was cold 🥶or am I being a soft southerner?😊👍

Good luck for the 10k today if it goes ahead! Looking forward to hearing all about it.
