Flipping freezing out there, but missed yesterday because of late arrival home.

But once you do the hardest part - gearing up and going out the door - the rest takes care of itself. ☺

I am thrilled that today I did three full laps of the park in 25 minutes which means not only is my stamina being restablished but am back to my usual speed ☺☺☺☺☺

There is a wind blowing here that is cutting us to the bone - windchill factor is at least twenty or more degrees below the thermometer reading. (Mid West USA :) )

Well I was too warm yesterday evening for our last run with Lanza Road Runners but I am sure to need more layers at parkrun on Saturday. At the moment it is snowing at Manchester Airport but not enough to cause us to stay longer in the sun :)

Love the photo IJ
