Well done Doublethecuddles
Welcome Cavagirl. I also had a very windy run. It felt like I couldn’t get my breath at points, then I’d go around a corner and all great ... until the next corner.

Welcome @Cavagirl! The wind is a real challenge, getting a little fed up with it now!

Hello, very rookie runner here but hope it's OK to join you all.
Still really windy out there today, felt like running with a bungee around my waist into the wind! And then I felt superwoman-fast once I got to a sheltered spot! Grin

Well done @Doublethecuddles!

Wow @giraffeski that was some run! I like snow running too but this morning was less fun. The snow partially melted yesterday then froze solid overnight. So large parts of the road and paths were ice rinks, and the softer snow had got really hard & crunchy. So it was a bit of an adventure, stayed on my feet so that’s a win!

Lovely pictures emummy I would rather have cold and snow to rain IRun4Me We were down in London for half term and got back home on Thursday night, which was very lucky. Icy parkrun this morning, which was slow in places, not a PB but First Lady in my age category which I was chuffed with.

Thought everyone had gone quiet until I tried to post on the other thread!
Such a beautiful sunny snowy day today but I feel too crap to run. LFT says I haven’t caught covid from ds but I feel bleurgh.

Thank you for the new thread emummy you beat me to it.
Beautiful photos.
Thankfully survived the wind without too much damage, just a short power cut. Now we have rain.

Hope everyone has managed to stay safe in the storms. We had heavy snow which has frozen overnight so this morning’s run was quite a workout! Beautiful day here now.
