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...

Fab shoes! Fab routine! What was your score? I hope you beat Robin Cousins?

Even supertracs have no grip on ice 🙄. Well done for getting out. You do sort of get used to the conditions. Getting home, a hot drink and a hot bath become super luxurious 😁😃🏃‍♂️
