Haven't been able to run since Monday with this weather. I'm clumsy enough at the best of times so this weather has been a no go for me. Hoping it clears up a little over the weekend and I can get out. Hope you're all keeping safe.
Nessie, looking forward to Glasgow half. Hoping to do edinburgh marathon in 2019 but I'll see how I get on with the half first. Actually planning on heading to Achilles Heel for new trainers soon so that may be a shout. Thank you
Will try to keep an eye on both those calendars, thank you!
I try to run the Glasgow Half every year (well since 2012) and it's usually my primary goal. I haven't had anything other than a supportive, fun experience - it has it's problems, but what race doesn't.
Thank goodness all that ice/snow/slush is gone (in the central belt at least) I paid for it with a proper drenching this morning - but being able to run without feeling like bambi on ice is a huge relief.
I was getting twitchy about my training plan - oh no I wont manage to get this weeks Long Run! it's a catastrophe! - running is for obsessives don't ya think. I was moping round the house all weekend, I must have been a joy to live with.
When the snow cleared up I was landed with a chest infection so today was my first run in 2 weeks and I was definitely getting twitchy. Still not on full form, breathing isn't great so it was only a 5k today, hoping to get out and do 10 tomorrow even if I have to take it slow until I'm back to full fitness.
Sorry to hear you were unwell xKerry, well done on getting back out - full form or not - the first one back is always a nice feeling when it's done. Stay healthy.
MrsMcG I hope your Half training is going well, I must admit I've no idea how the weather has been up your way but I can't imagine it's been easy.
Runner from Glasgow here! There’s usually lots of groups for runners on that “MeetUp” app, depending on your area. I’ve never joined any mind you, usually a solo runner. But those apps can be good for listing running events.
justkel where in Glasgow are you? I'm Southside! Just being nosey to see how near me you are! I'm usually a solo runner too but I might have a nosey on those for running events.

I hope everyone is still ticking over nicely, I'm feeling the fatigue from training for Stirling now - but still shoving myself out the door.
