@steevc just finished a 6.3km run, that lasted for 37 minutes.
Description from Strava:
The weather has turned chilly again after a lovely weekend, but I wanted to run today. There have been a few drops of rain, but I mostly avoided it. Strava says it felt like -1C out there, but I was warm enough in t-shirt and shorts.
I had a route in mind and was conscious of not being away from my desk for too long, so I tried to keep up a good pace. I have run a lot of this before, but had to consult the map a couple of times to be sure of where I was going. The concrete clock is one of several odd sculptures I've seen around Stevenage.
I saw a red kite and various other birds. They get seagulls there even though it is far from the sea. There are some cormorants by the boating lakes where I often run.
I was happy with the pace and I got a couple of segment PRs. Strava shows my fitness as improving and I hope to get back to something near my best of recent years. I just need to avoid injuries.
I keep an old pair of running shoes at the office so I have less to carry. I may swap them out for another pair. Some time I will try the countryside tracks across the motorway.
Run free!

I remember running a half-marathon in Hartford, CT many years ago. It was cold. Close to freezing temps. We wore our running shorts, gloves, a long sleeve running shirt with our regular sleeveless running shirt underneath. Once you get a couple of miles in the gloves and long sleeve shirts came off.
Good workout, too!What a gorgeous post @steevc!!
Cheers. I've really explored this area on my runs, but keep finding new things.
I sometimes start with more layers, but I soon warm up. I don't think it was really freezing this time anyway. I wear shorts all year and my legs do okay.
What year was that?
@bitterirony may have run that one with you!
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

As the weather has become sunny and warm here, I have stroll in the evenings as well. Not being away from desk makes belly on me :)
Guys like you motivate me to keep exercising everyday. You give no excuses, respect to that. Running in -1°C with just a t-shirt and shorts is dedication haha. I'm glad you avoided most of the rain. Have a good next run man
Strava said 7C, feels like -1C, but it felt warmer to me and I get hot when running.
7C is still a big deal hahaha, sometimes when it's that cold breathing while running becomes harder as if something is piercing through my nostrils 🤣
Even with the chilly weather, it sounds like you made the most of it and pushed yourself.
6.3km n 37m that's really great- well done & keep the good work. have a nice day
