Just A Little Bit Further 2013

Morning,

Would have enjoyed a run this morning - lovely crisp winters morning in Sussex. But no running today as took daughtrers to school and then straight to work.

byeck-Hope Moo gets sorted and you get out for a run this evening.

Chilli-Well done on your family swim yesterday.

Loula- I hope your house situation gets sorted- must be a tad worrying.You don't deserve what you have been through recently.

Take care everyone. 

Afternoon all

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr very icy and crisp this morning.

Gym morning for me...no running...just crosstraining,core and weights.And Chico walking...he was funny bounding about on the snow up in the hills...lol

Loula....Sorry about the pole sis.... really thought I had it....Hope you find somewhere soon...and em whats wrong wiv a flat my sis.....??????  The Chemist up the road is looking for a pharmacist part time...i reckon you should up sticks and come and live up in chilleeeeeeeeeeeeeee Scotland then you can run with all the ultra nutters in my running club....

Ecky...Have you been out training with trevor yet????

Afternoon

Very cold here but no ice on the ground so went out for my bike ride. Did 16 miles. It was so cold the water in my drinks bottle froze!

Byeck - so sorry about you missy. Hugs to you.

Sounds good training Franny

I'm reading 0 degrees right now - so today's gonna be my first ever officially 'freezing' run.

enjoy it RR a good baselayer and a hat are the essentials for running in the cold. Well I don't have a hat, I wear a fleecey headband thing to cover my ears (northface ear gear I think it is called) as it is only my ears that get cold.

can't run on all the ice that is around though, still have compacted snow on the ground here that is just really icy

Yuck!  I feel like a wimp cos I stayed home instead of going outside for circuits in the wind, and it's about 18 degrees here

I promise I'll do some weights and stuff here in the warmth at home 

Franny-My injury appears to have recovered- fingers crossed. Going to keep it starpped up when I run over the next few days (as per physios instructions).

Chilli-Well done on your bike ride.  

5.9k at a bit over 6mph average - and completely ache-free as well.   I'm not going to do any hills at all for a while, and when I do I'll be doing them at a steady pace - not chugging up them, but not racing up them either because my knee doesn't seem to want to go there.  I guess your legs still get a decent workout even if you don't dash up them.

It's odd isn't it - once you get going, you don't feel cold even when it's reading 0 degrees.

Good news about the injury, AF.

glad your injury staying away boss thats good news

franny sis- i dont thnk id survive in edinburgh cold climate !! - my nip tassles would be sticking out waaaaayyyy too far  in fact- theyd drop off!!

RR yes it really isnt that bad once you get going in the cold-just dont stop!!!!!

I would rather run in the cold than the wet or wind.

LLB-Naughty talk!  

yeah, the cold isn't too bad

it is the ice that is stopping me at the moment though

anyway, swimming tonight

boss/RR good to hear that injury is at bay. My knee has been improving, thank goodness! 

Edinburgh is lovely, although OH has proposed holidaying in the highlands in 2014 instead of abroad, and my heart did fall a bit - it is just the unpredictable weather, and right up in the highlands (he is talking about Ullapool) summer temp is about 12 degrees. It is lovely, and walking/running etc is good, but not the same as going abroad

morning

by eck - how are you and the kids today?

Morning

The lovely norteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Loula is back...that made me smile bout the tassles.... you had better bring about 3 layers up in May sis...lol although we had our hottest day on Mara day last year...am hoping its not going to be again this year so bring your fleecy

MC...Oooooooooooo don't think i would be brave enough to holiday in the scottish highlands although it is stunning scenery...erm Ullapool gets a bad reputation for rainfall  I like my heat for my hols and the sunshine...it keeps me going all year. In fact we have our hols booked again for this year  just got to save the money up now.

8.83 miles for me today  Going to visit Mum in Dunbar before the snow arrives in style.

Have a good day everyone

Well done on your run Franny

It's very, very cold this morning. Think I might just be content with my pilates class.
