Thaw!

Yesterday I got off the bus from work 6 k early and ran back into town. I was going to pick up the car at the train station 10 minutes' walk from home so I figured I might as well run there instead. And for the first time in ages I got to see some tarmac! Oh how I've missed that feeling of hard surfaces... The first 2 miles were great, but then I hit 'civilisation' and had to dodge ice, slush, enormous amounts of dog poo that have surfaced as the snow melts... And my personal favourite: ankle-deep puddles of icy water that you can't run around without being hit by traffic. No worries though - I had my woolly socks on.
