CR8 - out in the cold and dark

I did a short run tonight. Walked 10 minutes, shuffled 20 and then walked 5. I'm slowly adjusting to being outside and using my Garmin. I appear to have gone back to not settling into the rhythm of the run for at least 10 minutes. I did come across several people out walking, some with dogs and every single of then said 'good evening' which made me happy

The walk/run came to 3.51km. The running split for the running section was 9.28 minute KM's so getting a tiny bit quicker. 🐌🐌🐢👍

Stay safe everyone.

It's funny really, when new people pop up on here, we all say, keep it slow, and forget to do it ourselves 🤣, must feel good to be running outside now, even if it's a bit cold! 🥶

I prefer the cold - I haven't even put the heating on in my house yet.
