Ice Ice Baby

Suffering as I was, from feeling just a little bit tired, I decided that I’d make today’s run an evening one. In general, I’ve been a lot more alert through this -athon than I was during June. To be honest, during that race for big distance, I wasn’t exactly at my best in the afternoons at work.

Unfortunately, the weather’s been turning a bit colder of late which isn’t generally an issue from the wimpy view of “oh boo hoo it’s cold”, more that it can make conditions a bit treacherous. Which is exactly what it was tonight. A little bit of surface water on a thin layer of ice. Horrible.

I’d intended to do a reasonably long, slow run around the top of the town but that’s where the ice was. By the time I started heading back down where there was better grip, my legs were making their opinions known. So I just headed back in.
