Being an urban runner (mostly) I haven't much had to deal with mud! (Well, not that thick, at least - my park gets a bit water logged at times). I miss my early morning summer runs in the park no end, when I would end up with wet feet because of dew. Sigh. I miss seeing the sun come up and the warm air. Double sigh. But spring and summer will make a return! I will run in rain and cold, but for me nothing beats early summer morning runs.

My warmest seasonal greetings to you to, dear Helen, and a happy running 2018!
