My exercise routine took a backseat with work over Christmas and then a cold which had me feeling grotty, then work again over new year, and first day off this week today so got an early run in. It was approx 6k I think and icy in patches, hovering around freezing, despite wearing gloves I couldn’t feel my little fingers for the first 15 minutes or so then my circulation must’ve got going and I was okay. I prefer cold weather running to hot but there’s that period before the blood flow gets going when it hurts!

Anyhow I’m happy my two week lay off didn’t seem to harm me. Pondering a half marathon this year - I’m in two minds about it.
