5km this morning at Mile End parkrun

It was -6. My fingers were numb after the first lap.

Flatmate reckons I got under 23. I'm not so sure. The bitter temperature sapped so much energy...

Fingers crossed for your sub 23. Just as soon as mine defrost.
I did 6 miles along the Lea Valley towpath. -8 when I started at 08:30 and -5 when I finished!

Soft if you ask me. Car had -13 this morning when I set off. Receptionist was claiming -14.5 on hers.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

It took me 20 minutes to scrape the ice from the inside of the windows, so I reckon that counts.

So close. :( But give yourself a break - crappy conditions today. On a nice spring day you'll smash 23 min

Because it has an app that tells me what the weather is like.
