Run Twenty: A Rather Frosty Jog

Starting my 20 minute jog

Icy road

Beautiful sunlight bouncing off all the icy and frost

Sunny morning! 

20 minutes, easy! 

Home Sweet Home

Let the marathon training properly commence. 
I have a new training regime, my mum laminated it and everything. 
For the next 17 weeks I will be following the Bupa beginner marathon programme. 
To keep on track I had to start today so I did a 20 minute jog / easy run as suggested on the schedule. 
Today was so frosty and icy so there was definitely no problem with doing an easy jog as I had to be really careful not to fall over. 
The schedule suggests my next run should be on Friday but I will probably do the jog on Thursday instead so that Jon and I can do the parkrun on Saturday. With this weather though, we will have to play it be ear.
