Nice morning after a cool start, sub zero degrees. Luckily I don't run early morning.
Monday is always an easy day and the running just takes it's own course. Sometimes slow and a struggle, but today it all flowed as if the weekend didn't happen.
Usual run from work up the hills behind Bonython, the flat way back to finish at Pine Is for 10 minutes in the river.
Water is starting to go past the cool side towards cold. It certainly takes a little getting bit of courage to face the water, but it is worth it.
A message from a running friend over the weekend asking if I needed a partner during the week over the next few months. With my training plan including longer mid week runs, company that can go up and down hills and like it, will certainly be appreciated.
