Was only planning this 10K run for tomorrow, but weather is forecast strong wind 🌬️ and rain 🌧️

So I set out earlier whilst it was still frosty .... Big difference from Tuesdays 10K run.. where my head was boiling..🀣

Was very glad if the hat today!!

I need to find warmer gloves,the new one's I bought still don't keep my hands from nipping..so back to the sports shop at the weekend I think πŸ˜„

Reached my 50 Miles in November on this run.. still 5 days left so hoping to get to 100k ..20 more to go πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Happy Running allπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ™Œ

We’re having a heatwave this week so I think I would probably rather be wearing your hat and gloves 🀣

A photo from yesterday’s run 😎 Great weather for swimming!

I am feeling very well thank you Caroline, I was very happy with my 76th (not) parkrun yesterday, not my usual course around the loch, this time I ran it in the park only a 3 minutes walk from where I live, usually my time for a 5K on that course is around 36 minutes, yesterday I ran it in a time of 33:57.This coming Saturday I hope to be running my 31st official parkrun at Dunfermline, however, the weather forecast is for strong northerly winds with snow showers, I won't be wearing shorts and a T Shirt. 😊

Fantastic time there Alan πŸ‘ you are still hitting those targets πŸƒπŸ’¨Yeah wrap up well... Definitely time for tights and long sleeves ❄️

Ha, I DON'T wear tights, I'm going to wear jogging trousers and a thin jumper over a thicker jumper with my 25 T shirt over them with a thick bonnet over my head instead of my usual running cap, if it's icy I won't care a hoot if I run slowly and my time is +40 minutes, I don't want to fall, I may wear my trail running shoes, not my blue running ones.

I’ve got some Drifit Nike trousers which are dead thin, and I thought would be freezing, but they’re surprisingly not πŸ™‚. My thin Aldi merino long sleeve is just the job under a jacket etc. It’s all about Layers ! πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Costco had some good ones from Head a few weeks ago. I haven't been in for a few weeks, so don't know if they still have them. If you know someone with a card they will be able to sneak you in as a guest.

I found these on eBay for a tenner.. looked at reviews and they sound good, lots mention the same were available at Costco,wonder if these are the ones you meant Nowster?

Warm?

Not exactly what I have. Mine are black, dense knit on the outside and a bit fleecy inside.

They're worth a try, though. Looks like someone's getting rid of older stock.

Well done Sparky! A great run 😁. It’s bloomin’ chilly I agree - had better dig my gloves out tomorrow, and probably pull sleeves down as well. Congratulations on getting your 50 mile badge πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.
