Tthere's not a soul out there..."

NOT strictly true, as there was a dad + sledging daughter and a few dog walkers, but otherwise there was no-one else playing out in the wintry wonderland that is 'the lines' as they are known round these parts. UNfortunately he snow is a bit too deep and not very crisp or even, very heavy going which made my 7 mile run much more fatiguing than it has ever been before. A recent diet of real ale and chocolate and not much quality food may also have played a part in my feeling dog-tired. hopefully i'll soon be feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like this fine fellow:
