- I got up planning to run my postponed long run
- Yesterdays melting snow had frozen into ice
- The weather forecast said it would be 2 degrees around noon
- I hatched a plan
- I got ready to run
- I tried to settle to get some work done
- I listened to the radio
- At noon I was hungry, so had a snack
- While I waited for that to settle I felt cold
- I tried a few chores
- I didn’t feel like running
- I watched neighbours (while sending some emails)
- I put my garmin on the windowsill to get a signal
- I felt like staying home
- I changed my running top
- I charged my iPod
- I found some gloves
- I realised I was running out of time
- Oh well, maybe not 10 miles, maybe time to dash off 6 miles
- Outside
- Pavements clear, good start
- Holland Park icy compacted snow but fun
- Kensington Gardens and on into Hyde Park, paths mostly clear
- Beetlebum by Blur helped me pick up the pace
- 4 miles in, feeling too good to head home
- Loop of Serpentine, paths icy but trail shoes great on the grass
- Tip toeing on some slushy bits to the beat of Michael Jackson
- 8 miles done.
- Felt great.
Janathon day 22. 8.28 miles. Total Janathon mileage 90.5 miles.
