Description from Strava:
I had not run since before Christmas as we were travelling, but I did a lot of walking. It was nice to get back to parkrun, but it was a bit cold. It was looking like -2C, but Strava reckons it would feel like -10C! I was still in shorts, but I had my gloves and hat on. The Henlow lakes at the site were frozen over, so there would not be many anglers.
There were a lot of runners there, but then the Stevenage parkrun was called off due to icy conditions. Their course is mostly on paths that could be slippery, but this own is on grass/mud that would all be frozen today.
I was not really worrying about my time as I knew it would not be anything special. I just tried to keep up with some people. The low sun made it hard to see any trip hazards, but I survived unscathed.
On the last lap my friend Jeff came past and I was not going to catch him. I was happy enough to be under 28 minutes given the conditions and my current state. I have still been coughing a bit lately.
One of the regulars was marking 200 events, so there was cake. I had a coffee whilst helping to sort the finish tokens. Then I needed to get home as I was getting cold. I jogged most of the way back to warm up, but still needed a few minutes once I got back before I felt ready to get in the shower.
The sun has been shining all day, but it may not warm up much more. At least our solar panels are working well. I hear from friends up north that they have a fair bit of snow, but there is no sign of any here for now.
My offer to create Hive accounts for fellow runners is still open. You can log runs on Strava to create a post there and earn from it.
Happy new year and run free!
