I (her) have got myself all dressed up to go out and enjoy myself..... on a 13 mile run only to find the roads and pavements have been visited by Jack Frost.
Nearly half a mile into the run I turned into Torville & Dean or more like a shreaking T-Rex waving my arms and slipping across the road and into a hedge!
Needless to say I survived unscathed but now I need to wait a few hours for sun to warm the surfaces and I need to reconsider my route.... grrr
I was also mentally prepared for the run and feel wired now. Oh well such is life.  |

"Walk instead until the frost starts to thaw, then you are already out  "
I could and it was a beautiful walk back home but I need to run it as I am training for a marathon, plus I cant risk injury through falling on ice. X |

"Count yourself lucky! My street was white this morning and cars double parked. Car was sliding everywhere, downsides to a rear whee drive haha!! "
Our estate was horrendous too, it was all gone by the time I went back out in the afternoon. Thankfully |

I live next to the beach front. So I was quite shocked at how icy it was this morning. Car was sliding everywhere and I had to crawl through the estate.
Just be careful if you do decide to brave it and run next time! It’s bloody lethal!! |

When I lived in Glasgow I invested in these little slip on grippy things for my running shoes. I survived everything the Scottish winter could throw at me and got plenty of incredulous looks from people trying to walk and slipping everywhere as I ran past. |

I bought my bf a pair of those. Were they suitable for road running? |
