Hell Freezes Over Then Thaws

Training

This has been a week of inactivity and at least one trip to the pub and by lunchtime today I was restless and in need of some exercise. When the guys in the office got back from lunch in the pub I disappeared off and ran the HHR in the snow, slush and wet. It was even wetter experience than the infamous River Runnin as the slush was ankle deep most of the way down and the melt-water from the fields had produced a fair sized stream flowing all the way down from the Water Works (sic) to the gate and beyond.
The trail running shoes my Inov-8 Flyroc 345GTX, those ones I complained about ages ago really came into their own, grip in the snow was awesome!
