Idristhedragon Jan 2023 2:59pm, 15 Jan 2023 44 posts	0 Idristhedragon Did my 10k which even turned into an 11k ☺️ And although I don’t listen too much to what my Garmin says I was gratified that it decided I was productive for the first time since November 6th. Have seen Mr Dragon off at the station to head off for Luton and then to Romania for the week. This means I have to do more teenage taxi duties, more cooking and also the recycling but i will get the whole bed to myself and also the home office to myself so there are pros and cons.

Sweetie Jan 2023 3:29pm, 15 Jan 2023 15,751 posts	0 Sweetie Lliswerry 8 done, it felt very hard, 5 mins slower than last year, disappointing but not unexpected as I don't think I'm quite recovered from my Christmas lurgy yet. Still, 8 miles in the bank and the sun was shining so there are worse ways to spend a Sunday morning.

The dog and I have just come back from.a walk over the woods, he refused to go all the way I wanted so had to turn and come home. 6ish miles walked with him today and blitzed the kitchen so I can't that as a successful day 😁

CK2 Jan 2023 4:50pm, 15 Jan 2023 1,703 posts	0 CK2 What a fabulous photo ITG. Well done Sweetie. I did Lliswerry a few years ago and found it hard going as I’m used to undulations. Walk, wattbike (RPM) and weights here today.

um Jan 2023 5:01pm, 15 Jan 2023 6,919 posts	0 um Icelandic loggers must be efficient ! Great photo and looks like head clearing conditions. How many 'good clear days' do you get vs 'stormy snowing days' to enjoy the scenery?
ITG 🇮🇸 Jan 2023 5:06pm, 15 Jan 2023 15,995 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Icelandic loggers must be efficient ! ... How many 'good clear days' do you get vs 'stormy snowing days' to enjoy the scenery? 1. So efficient that the Vikings effectively wiped out the old forest (I ran through about 1km worth). 2. Varies drastically from winter to winter. Snow is fine, even heavy snow. Strong winds are a nightmare but fewer than 10 days per year when it is so bad I cannot run (much worse on proper coast and peninsulas; we are sheltered deep in a fjörd). Also horrible 0-3C after a snow as it is all slush and soggy. When it rains on top it is miserable.
