So cold said it was 2 degrees but the wind I made it like -4

Well considering I really wasn’t in the mood for a run but knew I had to drag my fat arse out I’m glad I went .

Even tho it took me 4k in to actually warm up and eventually enjoy this trail run , happy that I finally went up the hill I bypassed last time and I found a new trail route to run it was beautiful I felt like I was miles from anywhere.

I even climbed up a little steep bit to get a view of which it was just trees upon trees but it was so calming … Wind made it really cold this morning apparently it’s made it like -4 out , glad I had my Proviz Bobble hat on and Neck Buff

Went off piste a few times I did laugh hubby was messaging me as I plodded and he said on the map (find my phone ) it says your in the middle of nowhere- my reply was Bloody Good cuz it feels like that …

A few dog walkers about cheering me on as I plodded on … happy I managed to get to 8.16K and fuelled by my Warrior Creatine and Protein bar … my watch stats are : Distance , Cals and time of day .

Happy Friday you lot

That looks like a magical place to run. Well done to you for making the effort when it's so uninviting outside. That's a really good distance too, marvellous all round

Well done, that sounds like a great trail run! Well done for tackling the hill too!💪

Proviz gear is really good isn’t it? I have one of their long-sleeved reflective running tops and it’s fab in the windy weather!🙂🏃‍♀️🌬️

The wind is something to contend with at the moment. So hard to avoid face freeze! At least you had that gorgeous scenery to make it worth it!

Indeed that’s so true
