Popped out again today for a run with Dad which would have been great had it not been drizzling and foggy all the way round. We stupidly went across the common which was like running through a swamp, and it turns out that the real slip hazard is mud not ice - who'd have known! Charging down icy slopes where the ice is sitting on mud, just waiting for you to step on it before it suddenly disappears from underneath you is quite an experience, especially when you can't see for the rain and fog. A good three quarters of the time was spent unable to see because of the rain on my glasses, the other quarter unable to see cos of my breath steaming up my glasses and the whole time getting soaking wet feet cos I couldn't see the puddles in front of me! But it was good to be out again, running an almost respectable distance for the first time in December!
5.8 miles
