I always fancied running home from work and today I did. Banchory to Drumoak - 11.95km/7.42 miles in 01:17:26. Its usually 8 and a bit miles from work to home but I'd left the landy in the village this morning full of wine bottles (nothing to do with me!) so I could do the recycling this afternoon when I got back. A blizzard followed me all the way home which gave me added impetus to run an average 6:56/km. Not bad considering the snow underfoot.
The snow that fell last night has covered the ice to a depth of about 3 inches so it was a better surface to run on than the last run which was on pure ice really. Wore the 'rocs and again, really pleased with them. At points it was a bit 'one step forward, 3 steps back' but to be honest, unless you were wearing crampons, you kinda expected to be slipping.
Happy about the run. Kept the pace up pretty much all the way which is all I'm after at the mo. More miles, steady pace.
