Went out about 7.45 and did 2.5 miles. Was -1 and I was more concerned about slipping on any ice (we live by river so loads of leaves and not salted). Really enjoyed it shame had to stop then to get back for work

That's more like it OB. You soon warm up. I found a miners light thing you put on your head at work the other day and it's mint! I go running in the park after work(about 4.15) it's lightshish when I start, but pitch black when I finish. This is a god send. Lights up everything in front for about 20 metres.

Montane virtual spine race entries opened this morning, 268 miles is the full hit, but there are lower distances available as well, not bad for £20 a great way to knuckle into January.
As for doing the real one, Fuck that!!.....well at least until next year

Happens to everyone mate, I had a lot of shite going on during the summer, you just have to get the ball rolling and keep consistent, I started with a week of 3 miles a day, simple enough but it got me back in the game and it snowballs from there.
Take it easy mate.

There is a fantastic movie about the Spine race on either Amazon Prime or Netflix. Looks a proper gruelling run and the conditions can be ridiculously harsh. First couple of years people were sleeping outside at aid stations and getting covered in snow.

Very good product that. One problem with me is I usually throw my hat off after a few k because I get too warm.

Nice one mate, good to have a focus. I can only speak for myself but running always helps with the personal stuff, so try and stick with it. Good luck.

Being follically challenged, I find it stays on for the whole run at this time of year!
