The sofa nearly swallowed me up 😆

It's been 5 days since I've ran 😏

I admit to being a woos 🙄

That wind and rain this past week really put me off my game.. so I woosed out and done my strength training instead 💪

Was determined thismornin,but it was as bad as ever out there.. ❄️⛈️ another strength training morning.. but after lunch the weather brightened the wind has died down.. sitting watching daytime telly..my thoughts were edging me off my perch in the sofa..so kit on and off I went🎉🎉🎉

Managed a decent 10K although it was tough after so many days off.. I'm really chuffed to have gotten out..

If I can keep up my scheduled run's I still should make my 100K in February🤞

Huge respect to those who've battled the elements this past week🌟

Happy Running all 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃

Well done getting out today.

I know my running took a hit last week with all the crazy weather forecasts. I kept thinking 'it's fine, I'll go out tomorrow' and before you know it almost a week has past.

Yeah I think a lot of us were put off by it.. It was too dangerous some days.. 😨

Main thing is we didn't give up and got out again 🙌

I’ve not run but been outdog walking and at times it’s been ‘orrible 😬

Thankfully the dog weighs a ton so he’s quite grounded. His huge hound dog ears flap about though and I thought I’d have to lash them down 😁

We got in some right weather a few nights ago but it doesn’t bother him much. I follow him as he instinctively finds the best direction to go in 🙂🐕

I was just headed out for a test run but the rain has restarted. It’s hellishly windy too 😤. I’m going though as I’ve got ready 😁

I don’t blame you a bit sparky, and well done on your great 10k today! I’ve resorted to the gym and managed to keep my weekly mileage up on the treadmill. I dislike running in the wind, rain and mud intensely, and my regular route has all those, so I wouldn’t have gone without the gym!

Spring is nearly here …… isn’t it?? 🙏🏻

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Well done on getting it done in the gym cheeky chipmunks.. yeah the winter months are really tough, I've only one route option when it so wet, so gets a bit monotonous.. but woopee spring not so far away now🌹🌷Hang on in there 🤗

Good run for you today Caroline, well done under the circumstances of the weather being windy, good luck for 100K in February. 😊 🏃🏾

The last time I was out running was Thursday. It's calmed down a bit here now, but my running time has been taken up with making the back fence safe after the storms and washing the car (first time in at least three months).

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

Weather has played havoc .. 😨 Hopefully that's the worst over and normal service can resume 🏃🏃‍♀️🤞🙌

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Well done Sparky! I think everyone’s found it tough - last week saw my lowest mileage yet 😆, so the fact you’ll still make 100k is excellent. I’m just praying the bright and cold weather we’ve been promised here actually materialises, as the sofa is a slippery slope, and oh so comfy from where I’m sitting 🤣.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Frenc.. Ooh it's just got to improve.. can't take much more of this 🤣😨

I'm exhausted taking myself up for an early night 😊

And dream of beautiful spring days 🌷🌷🌷

[misswobble Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Yeah me too 🙂

I went for an early night last night but ended up reading a book I couldn’t put down 🤓

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]
