Work was a stretch today. Back a week after the Christmas holidays and I already feel like I need a break! The weather did very little to inspire me today. It was not, it must be said, a fine day. Driving from Kendal first thing the windscreen wipers scraped back sleet and rain fell almost incessantly all day. When I eventually pulled in my high-vis jacket and pushed my iphone into my ears the rain was falling steadily and offered odd glimpses of white-grey sleet as it slashed at my face. I will admit it was a struggle, a massive force of will that got me to venture from my front door in such foul weather. I have little to say about the experience. Almost nothing of the local scenery was evident, the fells that usually rise up on my right as I reach the half way point were shrouded in cloudy mystery and even the lights of the villages seemed muted after over a month of crisp dry days. I managed to knock 3 minutes off my time so now, unfit as I am, I can manage 4 miles in 44 minutes.
