jacs Nov 2013 9:48am, 10 Nov 2013 966 posts	Quote Pin jacs good luck racers have a great day we have had hard frost the last few mornings, I fear that the forecasts of a long hard winter may be coming true During the last one a lot of running had to be done on the treadmill because the paths were icy a lot of the time. Still haven't signed up for the Edinburgh marathon because I am not convinced I will get in all the long runs if we have snow from November to March like before... Is it actually humanly possible to run for over 10 miles on a treadmill I wonder, and also wonder if the gym would think I was taking the wee and chuck me out for attempting it when there are lots of people wanting to walk on them for half an hour...

I have a longish run scheduled for this afternoon so I hope the sunshine lasts. jacs I managed last year with trail shoes in the ice & slush - didn't miss a single run on the plan despite all the snow.
