Chilly morning run
I am getting back into my running routine despite still suffering a little from whatever bug I have had. The last couple of days here have been nice and sunny, but that means cold nights and it was around freezing as I went out today. I opted for gloves this time.
I did my regular route up and around Fairfield, which involves a bit of hill climbing. It took me a while to get going, but after I stopped for a selfie I picked up the pace a bit. I did the clockwise loop that is a Strava segment, but was not going for a new personal best. I was about a minute down on that, but I am happy enough with how it is going.
I took this on the way up where I was impressed to see the path has been cleared again. It tends to get overgrown so it can be about half this width. It is still pretty dirty though. There are solar lights embedded in the path, but I am never up there in the dark to see them light up.
It was fairly quiet out there with a few kids going to school. I was slightly earlier today, so I may have missed the rush and that is how I prefer it. Plenty of dog walkers though.
Although it was cold I soon warmed up and I enjoy the sunshine. That top keeps me warm even with just the one layer.
I meant to take a legs photo for @dickturpin, but forgot. He will have to wait a bit longer.
Run free and stay well.

It is really good seeing you back on track again with the areas been covered is likely done
Never mind, you took a picture of your Scottish face instead.
Pinging: That's one way of doing it. 🤣
Sorry to disappoint you :)
This is a Scottish face
Really? They put solar lights in the path? That is kind of cool. Seems like it would be a really good idea if more trails did that. It was 17 out this morning so pretty cold given we were almost up to 35 yesterday during the day. I think we are looking at 40's today, so most of the five inches of snow we got yesterday should go away.
I guess they can at least guide people to stay on the path, but some solar lights are not very bright. Mind you, we have some on the outside of our house that are motion activated and give useful light.
You get it colder than us and we have not had any snow this winter (I think). Just a little frosty this morning.
Yeah, that is a good point about the lights. Plus they don't always hold up very well through the night. They might be really bright at first, but then they just kind of fall off as the time passes.
The overlooking , scenes are over turn
I prefer it this way too. Having too many people flocking the streets while I do my morning runs is quite unsettling.
You are an inspiration honestly.
You don't want to be dodging people, especially with fears of COVID.
I'm just an old guy doing his thing, but I am happy to inspire.
I just wish I could just start. Your consistency gets to me every single time.
I can imagine how good your heart muscles are.
Keep running 💪💪
Even a brisk walk can do you good. When I started running I could barely keep it up around the block. All good things take time and effort. I want to stay healthy and active for a while yet.
I should try a brisk walk then... Thank you for this advice..
This is supposed to be a good way to get started on running. You may surprise yourself.
very impressive pace as usual!
hey there steve, would love if you could follow me back if intrested 🥰
You will find that follows have to be earned around here. Do not go around asking for them. I have to make the best use of my time, so I follow what is interesting to me.
Hello Steve,
I’m sorry I am new here!
I am still learning how this plate form works. Have a beautiful sunny day 😊💕
