Didn't fancy this at first. Training has been inconsistent the last couple of weeks so I told myself just to get out there even if only for a couple of km. I started in the words for a more interesting warm up, still plenty of patches of snow and ice around. Was pleased to say as I eased into out on the road I felt OK and found a comfortable pace and rhythm and was able to complete the full 8km at the top end of my target pace range. It was cold though and I am looking forward to when running doesn't involve a military operation to get dressed!
