:eek: sounds like you got it alot worse over your way. But 2.5miles in conditions like that is nothing to be sniffed at, at least you got out... sometimes i feel that is the biggest achievement... getting out the door

wind has died down but no doubt will pick up just ion time for our runs later on :rolleyes:

littlebug · 01-12-2011 11:24am

You did better than me in that weather. I just looked at it out the window, shook my head and then got on the treadmill

:D

Finally got out to run this evening after a nasty dose of the flu,i've been coughing and spluttering my way thru the last 10 days.I wanted to make sure i got rid of it before i started back.Did 2.75 miles at 9:44 pace.it was hard work in the wind but nice to get going again.

Nules10 · 12-12-2011 11:03pm

Respect for getting out in that weather tonight. Brrr. That first run back after a dose is always tough going.

Very true and its what helps to keep us going out time and time again whether we feel like it or not...it just might be one of the good ones:)

5 miles in 46.06.Got out early today and ran 2 laps of a trail near my house,It was freakishly mild,long sleeve t-shirt and shorts weather.The rain has made the underfoot conditions a little ropey,so i was a bit cautious.

I was in the park today myself, that is if it is the phoenix park you are talking about. keep an eye on the group meet ups in the main forum if you fancy joining any of the groups for a run. I would be around your pace for some of the long runs, you don't have to do the full session you can join us for a few miles. Keep up the great work.

Nules10 · 24-01-2012 8:37pm
