Day 204 - even more snow!

Lots more of the fluffy white stuff overnight but Leeds parkrun still went ahead! Driving to the run was the trickiest bit, despite having cleared the car of snow last night it was several inches deep again, so it took a while to get it all clear. The roads were slushy in places, still completely snow covered in others and nearly all just two tyre tracks down the middle - and this is the main road, main bus route into Leeds! I did see a few snow ploughs out, I guess it's just been snowing too much! Still, not much traffic to contend with, but there were lots of idiots about and impatient 4x4 owners........

Still, parkrun was fun! About 30 or 40 runners at a guess including about three first timers! I forgot I'd got this hacking cough to start with and set off far too fast, almost killed myself, so settled back into a steady rhythm. Under foot conditions were good, especially as the snow got compacted and the park was a picture.

Finished with a sprint for 13th place in somewhere around 21:30.

So, three snowy miles takes the tally to 1,119.
