That time of year

[chickenfeet]

It's that time of year when running becomes an exercise in will power. If one gives up now then that that's pretty much it until spring, which is not my plan at all. So this morning I was out in leggings, hat, gloves and cycling jacket. It was about the right degree of warmth/windproofness for a morning when the temperature is 1C and the wind is gusting out of the north at around 30km/h. Overall, it was not unpleasant. We shall see how the will power stacks up when it drops another ten degrees.

I don't think it's quite got that cold here yet, although I think it was getting pretty close to 1C last night. Once I'm on my bike, I'm too hot in a wicking T-shirt and a waterproof jacket with the vents open. It's the getting up in the first place that is more of a problem!

If you can get someone to drive you you could have them drop you off a few kilometres away wearing shorts and tshirt. Then you either run home and stay warm (in parts) or you die.

Having getting up problems with running plans myself. Also busy and have strange knee pains but mainly the getting up. Hmm. I get up in four hours. Think I may not get up earlier this time either.

Well done that man. I had enough trouble getting out of bed and going off to impersonate a Nordic skier indoors where it was nice and warm.
