The family have at last stopped asking why running everyday, it's because January is RED ✅.....
Yesterday in isolated wales, it's suddenly eerily quiet. The tumbleweeds a blowin, all we need is Clint Eastwood spitting chewing tobacco and the scene is set.
I'd thrown on the brooks ghosts and it was away, shorts, tee-shirt, gloves, buff and hat good to go. The stillness in the middle of the aqueduct was a powerful feeling. It's a chilly one I'm passed on the other side by a female runner wrapped like an eskimo and a very deep shade of red, over layering very evident 🤐.
I followed the same route along the towpath, and dropping down via the old mill ( same as my last 10k from December) I've a feeling a few routes will be reruns during January... But I'd have thought the lane would be without the flooded section, grrrr 😬. Ok hop a gate, sticking with the edge of the field countryside code ✅ dodge the water nearly, the field was waterlogged hmmmm squishy... Home to dry another pair of trainers 🤣.
Today I went for hills, frosty chilly chuffin cold hills, the squishy mud, gone, the ruts were hard knarled ground, the brooks cascadia doing a good job on this terrain. The elevation did require walking in sections, but hey it's pretty steep so even walking is a challenge. I looked for acountrycabbage and 🙋♂️but it's just to far away to see you 🤦.
Quick greeting with a dog walking neighbour he's wrapped up for the weather, I'm ok the thermostat is reading HOT 🥵.
Not being entirely sure of where I'd end up, it turn around time, run, slide back down and then track across country towards a home and hot shower, another one done 👍 running is happiness 🤓
Enjoy those runs people keep safe n healthy and be kind to yourself every run. Those of you unable because of injuries or illness..... 9weeks2run today was for you 👍
RED running/walking through RED January ❤️ 
I’m doing RED January for Mind
Red January just a little one 👍
