Day 136 - snow and ice!

Snow, but not as much as forecast, which made driving to work OK, but made for a slightly disappointing run.

Donned the Kahtoola's for a run up into the forest but was met with muddy snow covered fields, clear pavements and muddy trails. However, as I climbed higher the ground started to freeze and the spikes came into their own.

The pavements were also starting to freeze over as I got back towards home but all in all the spikes coped pretty well with all surfaces.

Best bit though, running in several inches of fresh, white power snow illuminated by the beam of my heardtorch. Awesome!!

Six miles in all, running total now up to 654.
