Morning Run: Last of the year
I just finished a 8.508km running that lasted about 0hh:47mm:34ss !
When I woke up I could hear it raining hard. I had wanted to get in another run this year, so I was thinking I would go out anyway as it was not cold. By the time I was up and had some breakfast the rain had stopped anyway. I have not been getting up so early over the Xmas break.
There were plenty of puddles out there, but my new shoes seem to keep the water out. I headed towards Stotfold for a brisk run. It was pretty quiet out there and I only saw one or two other runners.
It was feeling a bit like hard work, but I was determined to keep pushing myself. When I got to Stotfold I added an extra loop instead of just turning back. By the time I headed back I was more warmed up and moving a bit better. The pace was generally good. I hardly crossed any roads, but then there was not enough traffic to hold me up.
Back in #Arlesey I added some extra distance on back streets. On the last bit round the back of Chase Hill it was a bit muddy. My new shoes do not have deep tread, so they do not retain too much of the mud.
I was very warm when I got back and needed to cool down a bit before my shower. This takes me to 1246km for the year. I might have hoped for more, but it is not too bad.
There are a couple of 5km events on tomorrow morning. They will be muddy, but I will try to do one. The weather is not looking too bad. I may well have a drink tonight, but am not going too crazy.
Have a happy new year and run free in 2022.

You are too determined and I love to ask
Once I wake up and I discover rain is falling heavily.
I might just as well go back to bed
I know running does me good, so I will try to get out there, but rain does put me off.
Nice job on your run today! My wife and I went out to a new park to take a walk. I tried to take a bunch of pictures, but I am going to have to go through them yet. There was quite a bit of snow still on the ground and on the walking path so we had to be really careful. I have a feeling we will be going back when the weather is nicer.
It's pretty warm here for December. Maybe another sign the weather is messed up. Could still get a little snow this winter though. We're going to have a few drinks around a fire in the garden tonight.
