First real 'against the odds' run!

So many factors threatening to stop me getting out there for W5R2 today - being at my parents' house in Reading where my run is hills on a main road, sore legs, and, to top it all off, snow!! Had a dig through the old Duke of Edinburgh box and found a hat and buff, so (after prevaricating for a couple of hours) got myself out there. Can't say I enjoyed it at all, but at least it's done!

And I've done W5R3 before (I'm on my second go through the programme) so looking forward to that hurdle! Finger crossed for better weather...

Well done! Neither cold or snow, nor even hills could stop you! ;)

Oxford had snow falling but not sticking today, so I was intending to go for a run after work. Until I got home, and family duties had to take priority. :( Ah well,, if the weather doesn't live up to he forecast, I'll be able to go out tomorrow.
