Winter Wonderland [Exhaust Report 12/26]

I just finished a 3.964km running that lasted about 0hh:20mm:10ss !

It was really wonderful outside. No, not the running part. The Boxing Day turned out to be a perfect snow photography day early in the morning. As usual, I was not up for the run but then my wife decided to have a crack at it. The Macho Man came outside and I had to go out with her to accompany and prove that we are companions for life. Jokes aside, it's my wife who is motivating me to get out of the couch and run.

As I said before, the view outside was gorgeous. But, it was really cold. I forgot to bring my gloves and I almost froze the death. For the most part, my hands were in my pocket. That's the reason why I was slow today. Well, that's not the only reason. There were no runners in the parl. The city staff were not there to clean the snow. It was surreal to run over the virgin snow without other footmarks. Today was not about the pace but it was all about those high carbs sweets we gobbled the night before :P

Keep running.

I love how snow often makes a familiar place unfamiliar. We've not had any decent snowfall here for a few years now. I only really remember a particularly white festive season and that was 2010. It is imprinted on my mind as the snow arrived the night my wife went into labour with our first daughter.

What a coincidence. The 2010 Christmas was my first snow in the UK when I was doing my Masters at the Uni of East Anglia 😀 I do remember the windy, snowy morning on the Christmas day.
