I had thought of running yesterday, but I had a bad night and then woke up to snow! I did go for a walk and got a bit wet as the snow was melting as fast as it fell. No snow today, but it was a lot colder. Strava said -2C, feeling like -7C.

I went for an extra top layer and gloves to brave this whilst keeping an eye out for ice. I did my usual loop up the hill to Fairfield and it was not too bad, but you feel that cold air on your lungs. It felt like I was going fairly quickly, but the pace was not too special. I think I was just trying to get it done.

On the way back down my Garmin watch decided to shut down. I thought it had enough charge, but maybe the cold affected it. I decided to switch to my phone to log the distance for Move-ember, but after a while I tried powering on my watch and it was ready to resume the run so I switched back to that. It is on charge now.

It took me a while to warm up once I was home. I was watching a programme last night about Sara Cox doing her charity run for Children in Need. She did the equivalent of five marathons in five days over hilly routes. She was not a runner, so that is impressive. It makes me wonder what I could do if I applied myself to serious training. I may yet do a marathon.

My Allbirds shoes have done nearly 900km, so I ordered some new ones in the sale. They are not usually cheap, but they often have deals and you can find that certain colours are cheaper than others. I do not mind what colour they are really. I have had a few pairs of their eco shoes and they work well for me.

Run free and stay warm.
