Cornish snow

We don’t often get snow in Cornwall but we do get hailstones. So I’m renaming them “Cornish snow”.

I got pelted with them on my consolidation run this morning and, boy, did they hurt. Perhaps the pain drove me to this year’s PB of 37.32.

Crash helmet next time?

Happy running.

Sounds painful, but well done for sticking with it HF, I’m guessing that’s a 5k PB 👍

Crash helmet might help but sounds a bit sweaty HF?! But well done on the PB!

I’m due to buy a bike helmet when my ebike arrives, but yes it’ll not be practical for running. My tinfoil hat for stopping 5G messages from Bill Gates will have to suffice. 🤣🤣

Some call it lunacy!

Nothing wrong with a bit of lunacy 😊

It’s all relative. My 8 pint a day friend thinks I’m a lunatic for running. I think the man down the road who regularly runs half marathons on the steep cliffs here has shades of craziness. Wouldn’t the world be dull otherwise!!
