My week was disrupted again. It made it hard to get out for a run. So I was looking forward to this morning's long run. I headed out the door in bright sunshine and blue sky and a chill in the air. I though I was in for a good morning that would warm up as I got in to the run.

The Two Fruit loop was the run of choice with an extra of Isaccs Ridge. Twenty minutes into the run and the weather closed in. Gone was the sun, gone was the blue sky and in rolled the cloud and wind. My hands froze and thawed a dozen times.

The run became a hard slog to the end. I Ran into Two Fruits just before my turn off. It was good to catch up.

Tomorrow's run will be about 25km. I must start to run at every opportunity.
