Watford Wobble Dec 2016 3:17pm, 29 Dec 2016 6,855 posts	0 Watford Wobble Well done GM. Exercising the mind is as important and physical activity. I like the flexibility of your plan.

The forecast freezing fog had vanished by 10pm last night instead of hanging around until tea time today, but the beautiful blue sky resulted in a harder frost even than yesterday so it was too slippery underfoot. Instead of running (bambi skating) I dragged Mr GM and Mad Dog Jess out at lunchtime for a 3.5 mile yomp over the fields and along the river bank. Same distance as the planned run, and just as hard on the legs, but safer! Much as I love crisp, frosty winter days (when I'm on holiday), I'm ready for it to warm up just enough for me to go cycling and running in relative safety.
