Today was supposed to be a rest day, which I took yesterday, so did 5 miles this afternoon. Conditions were not much better than yesterday so a very slow plod. Underfoot was a mixture of ice, snow and slush.

Once I resigned myself to a slow pace and reduced stride, I was reminded how good it was to be outside and, while ankles and legs ached from muscles not normally used, as always I felt the better for my run. Even in weather like this you would not persuade me onto a treadmill!

Today's sole spectator
