Well I haven't Garmin'd or Strava'd this evening, because with the wet autumn leaves and the snow underfoot, I slowed down (even more) to watch my step tonight. I was frightened of slipping - but concentrating where I placed my feet did rather take my mind off the run !
I will admit it was a real effort to leave the house but (as always) the afterglow was well worth it. I'm feeling pretty smug - there were very few dog walkers or even pedestrians about tonight.
Goodbye Week Four. Let's hope the snow clears for the next run on Thursday. But if I can go out in weather like this, nothing will stop me now !!

well done mummybowles …sometimes the weather can be off putting & when I first started running I was scared to go out in it but once I’d done it & found that I’d survived…it didn’t put me off again 😉
Congratulations to you mummybowles on completing week 4 of C25K in ice and snow with leaves underfoot, you took it slow and steady, well done, onwards and upwards to week 5 on Thursday, not too sure if the weather will be milder by then, the weather forecast says it's to remain cold until Sunday so once again be very careful with your running.
All of the above and much more. You did well to brave the snow and the slippery terrain. You have given me inspiration for tomorrow as I was maybe going to chicken out and just jump on my treadmill. However now I’ve read your post I shall be going out running instead …..obviously if it’s too icy 🥶 then it will be be a no show with the running but I shall definitely be out walking. Well done mummybowles you are doing fab with your C25K but take please.👏👏🏃♀️🏃♀️🙋♀️
🍏👍⭐️ mummybowles You definitely have a runners mindset!! Week 5 here you come! Soft snow underfoot is wonderful but ICE is a no no for me! Keep safe & your joy is infectious. Well done! Xx
well done , I’ve just done week 4 run 1 yesterday, seemed an age running for 5 mins even when Steve Cram said your half a way through I thought Heavens Im surely more than 1/2 way. Congratulations on running in the cold my hands were freezing and I haven’t invested in any proper running attire just an old pair of Primark joggers!!
