I forgot to wait until the sun was up and was back before it rose which meant that it was a very chilly run indeed. No ice, no frost but much colder than I expected. I regretted forgetting my gloves and was glad of the hat.
My run is a bit special - I'm lucky that there are no hills but I run on a country lane, single track and near the edge of the cliffs that drop into the Atlantic near Cape Cornwall. I can count the ships that pass; if I'm early enough I can count the lights from Longships, Wolf and Round Island (on the Scillies) lighthouses. I pass fields of Ruby Red Cattle, wild patches of bracken and gorse that will soon smell of coconut and then the honeysucle that also grows there. If I'm lucky, I'll spot the Cornish choughs with their red beaks and legs. They have made a huge comeback from extinction in the past 15 years.
All this makes for a great start to the day - I mean, even if I failed the run (I didn't) I've won the day, haven't I?

That must have been a cold, dark run but seems there was plenty for you to look at despite all this. I love to watch the lights at sea (I sail so get to do this more than most), so evocative.
I thought the whole of Cornwall was steep hills, memories of my misspent youth doing lots of camping in sloping fields and walking uphill from the pub You must live in the best bit, certainly sounds that way from your description.
how lovely. Like you I’m lucky with a route that takes me through two lots of woodland and along a cliff top by the sea. Been doing it for years and I never fail to enjoy the vibe rain, shine, snow, wind - it’s all beautiful
