    Getting fit was much more fun than getting thin: different mindset.

    Oh my god, I can't believe you even leave the house in that, let alone run.
    Although I think I'd rather run than stand still on the sidelines, I'd be demanding hard liquor, not just coffee!
    Can you tell that I'm a southern hemisphere girl? My Saturday run was in 31C summer weather, which is much more my style!
    Beautiful photos though, thanks for sharing.

    I had two friends who were watching and they had a great time... It really wasn't all that cold (especially when you dress up right).

    31C is much harder to run in.. you dehydrate so quickly and the heat is energy sapping! Of course, a happy medium of 15-20 in bright sunshine is nicest.

    ...yeah - there was quite a lot of snowball throwing... mostly between the stewards and us poor runners getting caught in the cross fire :). Oh - and you did NOT want to be on the podium.....

    Stunning pictures and the best day for it :) Well done...
    I love running when it's cold as I feel more at ease than when it's hot in the summer! I did a 13K on Saturday when it was -7° and icy and then a 5K yesterday in the snowy woods and loved every minutes of it. I live down in Hampshire. My thighs are sore today as I find your running is different in the snow due to where your foot land and I was very cautious of not skidding so an even better burn! Let's hope for more snow this month...

    Photos to cherish :)

    Well done, it looks gorgeous. Rather you than me though. The cold weather has confined me to the treadmill this week. Was hoping to get out on the road on Friday, but just seen there's another band of snow on the way.......

    Congrats for your amazing race. I am too much of a whimp to run in winter. I have only gone once outside to run this winter. You rock! Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures!
