Everywhere is ice or waterlogged so this was mainly road - thoroughly enjoyable until I put in some hill reps at the end! π«

A trail through misty woodlands.
Poor sleep recently so maybe thatβs why Garmin suggested 22 mins slow, which I just ignored and then weirdly set a new PB around the lake. Lovely misty conditions.

Absolutely. Totally motivating on those misty moorland runs!

A mellow morning with my sunshine playlist (at last!), just a short one so I could be back for the skiing..

I had to drive off my hill today to escape the snow and do three miles lower down in the slush and rain - it wasnβt fun but it wasnβt not fun
