ThorntonRunner 9 Jan 7:32pm, 9 Jan 2024 7,241 posts	0 ThorntonRunner Almost thought myself out if a run today due to the near freezing temperature. But after we'd got home from lunch at a local forestry centre (we'd walked the dog there) and I'd harvested the rest of the brussels I put myself in autopilot and got changed without letting myself think about it. 3.7 miles round the reservoir. Normal thing: after dreading it in anticipation and tolerating it in execution I enjoyed it in reflection!
ThorntonRunner 9 Jan 7:40pm, 9 Jan 2024 7,242 posts	0 ThorntonRunner I don't like the cold! Last spring I picked up a Nike therma-fit running jacket at a vastly reduced price (£30 rather than £130ish I think) - presumably end if season stock. I've started using it the last few weeks. It does help me get over the "it's too cold to run" gremlins.
IdristheDragon 9 Jan 7:42pm, 9 Jan 2024 6,030 posts	0 IdristheDragon I need to wear gloves - my hands are the part of me that get cold - sometimes I will have vest top, skort and gloves 😃
ThorntonRunner 9 Jan 7:51pm, 9 Jan 2024 7,243 posts	0 ThorntonRunner One of the things I like about the jacket is that it has large pockets - zips pretty much from waistband to armpit, so I can start wearing gloves and hat, but can store them easily as I warm up
The Pin Lady 9 Jan 8:06pm, 9 Jan 2024 1,421 posts	0 The Pin Lady Club run tonight. Pretty nippy out there.
Sombrero 9 Jan 8:51pm, 9 Jan 2024 13,826 posts	0 Sombrero I boxed. It was cold. I survived. I am appalling at press-ups. The mean git made us go out and run - twice. LOVED IT!
Serendippily 9 Jan 10:14pm, 9 Jan 2024 29,373 posts	0 Serendippily good stuff Ive given up and cleared my list of blogs as it was making me feel guilty and hopeless. A mild run was definitely the best part of my day
Pothunter 9 Jan 10:18pm, 9 Jan 2024 8,575 posts	0 Pothunter lol Dips, I was very close to doing the same but managed (just!) to skim read and whittle the list back down. I did clear the training I’m following without giving thumbs up though (sorry!) Got a chilly couple of miles done with the dog. He seems to quite enjoy it but sits down every time he sees another dog.
Diogenes 9 Jan 10:26pm, 9 Jan 2024 83,830 posts	0 Diogenes It’s alright, Dipps, I’ve not written one since you last commented, so you’ve not missed anything important 😂
alpenrose 10 Jan 6:21am, 10 Jan 2024 62,198 posts	0 alpenrose Morning I just about managed to clear my notifications before coming away. It's too much to comment as well mostly and I think that "less is more" mostly. I'm sure I'll be back to square 1 in a few days.
