Thanks for the replies. I skipped yesterday but forced myself to go today, and it was wonderful. I made sure I had lots of layers on and a pair of gloves, and it really wasn't that bad, even with the biting wind in my face at the start. :-D
"I'M A RUNNER!" (to-be lol)
PS - I've only been running twice beforehand, and I'm doing the beginners running schedule which starts with 1min the first week, and then you build up, however I managed to do four stints of 5mins each, whohoooooooooooooo. Next stage will be 8 mins, scary!
