Slip sliding away. First frosty morning run. It was very slow and steady. Old Floss would be proud of me 😂 Calling it completed as I did the three minute “runs”.

Not sure that I’d head out on icy streets again; especially with a dog who lunges off to sniff out dubious delights taking me with him. 😳

Yes, frosty pavements this morning were 'interesting' to say the least! 🤣

I’d like to say I looked like Bambi in ice. But that wouldn’t be anything like! 😂😂😂

This is the one thing that's making consider a gym as a back up plan.

So worried about getting an injury in snow and ice.

Well done for completing it, bambi style or not 😁

Well done for completing, but I’m with you, frosty pavements with an excitable and determined dog are scary enough walking, never mind running!

Having just bee out in the light, I realise it was pretty silly. I ran on the gritted roads. But they are few in town now. I ‘ll not do that again. Could have gone very wrong.
