Bazoaxe Mar 2018 11:50am, 4 Mar 2018 12,611 posts	0 Bazoaxe Back of airport road perfectly cleared and almost traffic free on a sunday morning. All hail edinburgh airport freight peoples. Shame it was blowing a gale and I was about a minute faster for the westwards reps than the eastwards ones.
princesszee Mar 2018 5:11pm, 4 Mar 2018 556 posts	0 princesszee Couldn’t work out where to go that wasn’t slippy/slushy/icy in Edinburgh so did 18miles on a treadmill. Not my best idea ever but it was either that or up and down my street and that’s a hill!
FergusG Mar 2018 5:49pm, 4 Mar 2018 2,310 posts	0 FergusG Good work princesszee, I’d have been tempted to use a treadmill too if I had access to one this week! My route this morning had to adopt three loops to avoid the worst of the ice, slush and snow today. Not sure what was more challenging - the impact of the snowy sections on my legs, or the mental challenge of running past my house at the end of lap 1 and 2!
57.5 Degrees of Pain Mar 2018 5:53pm, 4 Mar 2018 3,658 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Nairn 10k was bracing, but not bad running conditions. Also got in some proper snow running with the dog before the race, Fochabers had caught a lot more white stuff than we got further west.
