New Years Day 5km

I did a slow, careful towpath run. Very slippery. Start as I mean to go on. It’s snowing again now so not sure I’ll be doing another run very soon. Runkeeper said I did 133km last year. Not great, but at least I can still do it. I hope to do better this year. I’ve set a target of 500km and completed 1% of it. Onwards and upwards 💪

Nice photo from a nice, careful run.

We did our run this morning then an early afternoon walk as it started snowing

I did 2 walks today. I needed to get out in the sun. Came home when it started snowing. Very pretty out there today. Brrrrrrr.

We have taken to doing a short walk in the afternoon even after a morning run or walk. Need the daylight

It pays to be careful at the moment Baddie. It’s so slippery and we certainly don’t want to start the new year with an injury. Well done for getting out there. 👏

What a beautiful picture Baddie, and it’s lovely to see the snow scene you have there.

Well done on your tow path run, it can’t have been easy.

Happy running in 2021.

You’re doing great Baddie 👍 I thought you were quiet last year. That’s a pretty good start considering it’s only day 2 of the year. 👍👏👍

To be fair, last year was tough! Well done on the start to the new year. I’m sure you’ll make it x

The fresh snow looks so pretty but sure can make the paths treacherous. Take care out there. You've got a great start to 2021!

Not worth running on ice and snow is it. There'll be lots more opportunities to hit your goal. Think I might set myself something similar.

You can set the goal in Runkeeper if you have it.

No I'm still quite low tech - I just use strava for my run records but I think there might be something on there too.
