Finally prised myself off the couch and out the door, in the correct clothing and footwear (unlike last week when I went to for a walk in ski trousers and decided to trotπŸ™„). 5km done, slowly, and with plenty of huffing and puffing. Feeling good now 😊

Well done Baddie! Good idea to ditch the ski trousers 😁

I keep being afraid of being too cold in the chilly wind, but it’s fine once you’re moving.

Ha, I don't like the cold either - I wear lots of layers and peel them off as I go. I end up looking like a cricket umpire
