Cycling to work continues through this latest cold snap - Friday saw temp reading on the Garmin drop down to -4.5. I was glad I'd put my overgloves over my normal gloves which had silk liners underneath. I'm going to try Goretex ski gloves this week instead, as all dexterity was gone with 3 pairs of gloves. Good job I was on the single speed, as I'd have found it tricky changing gear.
Sadly didn't join Alan and Christian in the Bowler on Friday after going to see Iron Lady with Caroline first. Or maybe it was a wise move? Saturday morning was cold but Caroline and I had agreed that if it was raining/snowing we'd do the Leamington Parkrun. The ground was well hard underfoot but once we were on the paths the going got easier. My hat stayed on until the top of the climb and my gloves only came off in the last km. I'd sort of given up a bit then and let the guy who'd been huffing and puffing behind me get past. Managed a bit of a sprint for the line and then spotted Luke and his daughter Chelsea in the line ahead of me. Nice chat with him. He managed a sub 24min time which I'm aiming for now having managed a PB of 24.33 just 7 seconds faster than the last PB. Still early days yet. Only Parkrun no 4, which is nothing compared to Alan 'The One' http://wotlers70point3.blogspot.com/ whose just finished his 20th! Caroline finished her 2nd Parkrun just over a min behind Alan and was really pleased with a PB too!
Swimming - yet to happen but have heard of a chap who does lessons on a Wednesday evening at Southam Leisure at 8.30 and comes highly recommended by both Liz and Louise.
