Kept checking the website and Facebook page to see if Lincoln parkrun was cancelled today. I kind of hoped it would be to put an end to my procrastination, but in the end I donned 3 tops, 2 bottoms, bobble hat and gloves and defrosted the car! A light covering of snow and snowflakes fluttering down but โonlyโ -1.5c. With the Course Directorโs words ringing in our ears - โYou lot must be madโ, โYou run at your own riskโ, โI donโt expect any PBs unless youโre a first timerโ, โSub 20 isnโt safe in these conditionsโ (Oh well thatโs OK then ๐คฃ๐), off we went. It wasnโt actually as bad as I had feared, although getting a bit slippery on the 3rd lap. Parkrun website is down, so no official time yet, but Strava time 34:52, which isnโt too shabby. I was boiling by the end though ๐ฅตOh, and I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans in over 10 years yesterday. Happy day ๐๐ Stay warm and stay safe VRBs ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
