Cold but loving it.

So off I went this cold and frosty morning for w5r1 to our local country park. Been back on it since my stint on the IC and loving it. My pace has slowed significantly but hey, I'm out there and getting through it.

I've decided I'm definitely more suited to running in this cold weather than in the heat of summer and it is amazing how different everything looks.

One minus was a young couple walking a dog looking and laughing at me.. thankfully my music was quite loud so ignored what he shouted except couldn't resist saluting them with finger signals as i ran past 😂Things like this would have put me off earlier in the programme but not anymore. however one other very nice person congratulated me and clapped as I ran by him.. very nice man, (obviously a runner ) . Roll on saturday. Happy running everyone 😊🏃‍♂️

Winter running is my favourite, all those nose freezing days with the icy mists and sparkly mornings. Just love it.

When I first read your post I thought the dog had laughed at you 😂😂😂

How do you know they were laughing at you? Perhaps they were having a private conversation but happened to look at you at the same time?

Anyway, as you say it doesn't matter. You're running and you're doing brilliantly. Well done on the run.

Cold, comfortable and confident I love the cold days, except if it is icy!
