Well it was new trail shoes day today, really nice Scott Kinabalu Supertracs in a rather restrained banana yellow I ran only about 250 yards in them before falling to some disguised black ice producing the middle-aged version of a triple toe loop followed by a roll in the mud, Robin Cousins eat your heart out...
The run was into the teeth of a sleety gale but managed my 10k before breakfast. Passed by lots of drivers in cars on the final , into the wind, 3k uphill section shaking their heads at my insanity, I just smiled...
