Argh! After a couple of gorgeous (if cold) mornings that I waved at from behind the wheel on my way to work, my day off has brought rain, slush and general grey dingy dreariness. I had been imagining icy crunching underfoot and sunshine filtering through trees, but it is just grim out there. I’m sitting here in Aldi’s finest base layers (I dressed optimistically for running this morning) with wet running shoes from walking 20 yards from car to house.

Sensible. It’s just hard to concentrate on other things, or even give yourself over to a lazy day, when the run is calling you!
