More like ice-skating

Tried another route this morning that I’d planned previously. Looking at the weather last night it looked like it was only going down to 4! -1 when I went out. 🥶Freezing, but not slippy on the pavements. Running along and after quite some time I hit the cycle track......OMG don’t know how many times I was nearly on my backside⛸⛸. Had to walk some of it gingerly. Despite all that I’m home in one piece and feel set up for the day. Christmas cake 🥣 in the oven and it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 🎶

I was going to go out this morning and thought better of it because of the ice. I'm going to start out at about 3ish now.

I was still on the “don’t want to be seen” mode after the trauma of the public track on Friday 🤣. You’re probably safer a bit later on. Enjoy!

Alvor r, you're a very good influence on us all. I went running in the light today!!

[Alvor Graduate in reply to shuffleido]

Never been called a good influence before 🤣. I went out at 8 (it was light) just going to be brave 😬 I think most runners have been where we are. Then the others are wishing they were doing it, or think we are nuts 🤷🏻‍♀️

[shuffleido Graduate in reply to Alvor]

In my case probably nuts.

A fellow runner in the opposite direction applauded my efforts today. I can’t decide if that’s good or bad. Were they delighted with my efforts, or did I look like I needed all the help I can get? Anyway, we all have to be seen at some point. Well done for getting out there and being seen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Alvor Graduate in reply to SlowRunner46]

Take it as a compliment. Maybe they’ve not seen you about running and recognise you as new? Most runners are smiley and pleasant when you’re out. You get the odd grump..... maybe they’re out running off the tension in their life 🤷🏻‍♀️🤨

Crikey...that was some running experience!!! And -1. Well done you, for getting home safely 😁 and for not abandoning the run.👍 You are one organised person...Xmas cake in the oven...oooh yummy. I gave up making my own Xmas cake, well any cake. Having worked as a 🏠 keeper for many, many years and experienced the cakes the chefs made...I just enjoyed the "leftovers"🤣. I worked over Xmas anyway and usually only had enough energy into crawl into bed at the end of the day...cooking was NOT a priority. Glad you're safe and sound.🦌🐢🐌🚶‍♀️🙋

Thanks. I love to bake, now I try to give it away so I don’t eat it 🐷
