This morning started with a little confusion. I had a message from a friend last night saying he was doing a training session in some local woods and I thought it was today, but it's next week. So I was waiting for him to pick me up until I confirmed I had the wrong day.
I was all ready to go, so I headed out anyway. My Nest said it was -3C, so I went for t-shirt, warm long sleeve and trousers over my shorts. It's very rare for me to wear trousers when running, but it seemed cold enough. I also had some light gloves, but I didn't bother with a hat as my head gets so hot anyway.
I had my cheap action camera as I had thought it would be good to use on the training session. I ought to have checked as it had the wrong date and one time I managed to video instead of taking a photo. I haven't used it that much so far. I should get to know it better and make more use of it. It should be more convenient than trying to get my phone out of the arm pouch and I've had issues with the running app crashing when I start the camera anyway.
This is a video still with some frozen cobwebs that I thought looked good. Ignore the wrong datestamp on these pictures.
It was a little foggy too with my glasses freezing up at times. It felt like hard work today, but that may have been down to the cold. There were other runners out despite the cold, but sometimes I'm on my own for a while.
Do I look cold?
I just did 10km this time as I'd had enough by then. Just about an hour to do that, which is not great for me, but I realise many people couldn't even manage that. I'm no competitive athlete, but I'm fitter than most guys in their early 50s.
I will aim to run a couple more times this week. We're off to Berlin for a few days, so I'll try to do a run there. I haven't arranged to meet any Steemians there yet, but maybe I'll bump into some.
Run free!
- I'll buy guitar picks for Steem
- Get a Wirex Debit Card to spend your crypto.
- Get some passive income with Mannabase
- Get paid to search at Presearch
- Battle for cards on Steem Monsters
Lucky you...I’m at bed with fever these days...impossible to run my target race today...

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are well again soon. It's so frustrating if you can't run when you really want to.
Yes...anyway, there will be other races...now, I need to recover from this flu

Hello from 2019, seems in 2016 is quite cold :D
I've got to a stage where I really don't know what year it is. A lot of things seem to be going backwards.
Looks a little chilly. We are sitting right around -15 this morning before the wind chill. I thought my hand was going to fall off just walking back out to my car to get my phone.
I've seen it down around -12C here in previous winters, but we don't get real extremes. I'm quite happy about that :)
its shown in the picture that you are very cold
