Plan was to take the family out to Forbidden Corner near Leyburn today, but a forecast of heavy snow mid-afternoon put paid to going anywhere the other side of Harrogate. A morning's sledging was followed by a realisation that I was (a) not hungover and (b) free for the afternoon, so I decided to get a few bonus miles in.
The Herb was keen, so for the first time in ages (he's been injured on and off for a couple of years now) we went for a run. I put off road shoes on, as there's still a lot of snow on the roads, but in the event it wasn't too bad underfoot. I ran down to The Herb's, then we ran back past out house and round the Halton East loop to give a nice 6 miler in just under 49mins, so a very steady 8min mile pace, but it felt great to have got a run in, and nice to run with Herb again after all this time.
Back to work tomorrow, and with the cold weather forecast to continue for the rest of the week I think a last bike commute of the year is looking unlikely, but we'll get a couple of runs in at lunchtime hopefully.
