Our Runs w/c 10th October

Well done to Sarah K who did her first ever 10K last weekend in a very respectable 63 minutes!
Apparently, the weather is about to get chillier - so here's a reminder about ice/snow protocol:

  1. If it's safe to run , we will do.  We run in the rain & on frosty nights.
  2. Snow & ice - no running!  I will post on this blog by midday if that day's runs are to be cancelled.  I will also send a message to the FB page if I can.  So do check the blog if it's snowy & you're not sure.
So now we are in winter mode, refectives become essential!  Layer thin layers that you can remove whilst running rather than wearing 1 thick layer.  A lightweight waterproof can act as a windproof & really help with staying warm - and you can get windproof jackets.  Gloves and a hat or headband can help extremities to avoid frost bite!  As a group, we tend to stick to roads anyway in the dark, but those of you who venture off road in the daylight, consider getting a pair of trail shoes.
