Lyrics no!
Happy new year!
The sun was shining early-ish and I almost went out without a waterproof, luckily didn't...2 miles in it started snowing and also was running into a strong cold wind. Stopped for a bit then hail later. 10m done. Not sure I fancy going out again!
Currently book by the fire!

The end of road where the flood defences have failed. Road is down the centre, allotments to the right.



Rugby club will be out of use for a day or two...

A couple of years Prime Minister Johnson visited, assuring residents there would never be floods again...

@ElspethF and @PeterFay , you have run up that road on a rather more pleasant day!

Should read, end of my road. Fortunately there is a hill before the first house so residents should be fine.

Afternoon :)
@alehouse that looks a bit grim! We have some flooding here, but nothing quite that bad.
Lyrics - no
What - short social run this evening
Why - it happens to be Wednesday, so we thought we would!
Last hard - yesterday (it feels like much longer ago!)
Last rest - Monday (well, no running!)
