Not much fun on the ice

This evening I ran one of the Ilkley Harriers club runs. It had been raining for much of the day, then as darkness fell, the rain stopped & the temperature fell below freezing, leaving a film of ice on the roads & paths. The group that I ran with wasn't one of the fastest, but in the conditions, I wouldn't have wanted to be going any quicker.

We did an 'anti-clockwise' tour of Ilkley, just over 10k. It was particularly challenging to stay upright on the downhill sections & I seemed to be struggling to get any grip from my well worn road shoes. I was pleased to get home without taking a tumble.

On the positive side, I wanted to do an easy run today, as part of having an easier week before Sunday's 10k & I achieved that. Tomorrow is the weekly track session at Carnegie. However, the weather forecast is for snow tomorrow evening, so it must be doubtful that the session will go ahead.
