Not a good start to my running but at least i got out๐Ÿ˜‚ what looked like being wet pavements turned out to be black ice!! Decided safer to do walk/run intervals and freestyle ha ha! No times or intervals just went with what i felt like doing which seemed hard going today! Was aiming for 4km but fell down at 3.7!! Fortunately no breaks not even my phone this time thank goodness just a few scratches & bruise๐Ÿ˜ฑbut it hasnโ€™t put me off ... il be back out there... maybe have to think about gym on icy days. It was a slow day but still did about 6km , as walked home from my daughters after i fell!! O roll on spring ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Šhappy safe running everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š
