Winter is once again back with us and as I skittered and slid my way around a six mile loop last night, the words of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song sprang to mind. Unlike in the song, there are no hot springs here abouts but a nice hot bath to soak in post run was more than welcome.
Sunday morning had dawned bright sunny and very frosty and the Derwent Walk seemed to have attracted a host of runners.
Although I struggled over the final three miles, I was happy with my total of 17 miles for the day.
Overnight Sunday and into Monday morning the snow arrived and although we did not have a heavy covering the cold temperatures throughout the day ensured that it had frozen by evening. Making the footpaths quite treacherous.
So it was a steady but stuttering run on heavy legs to start the week off.
