Hill Loop 10km ; Long Warm Down 6km and Second Run 5km ; Sunny Outlook

Late start to a chilly morning, just 8 degrees, no rain overnight, wind from the west, the coldest morning I've experienced this year. No warm up run today, just stretching, then straight into my regular 10km Hill Loop aiming to hit race pace before the first big Climb. Other runners were about at the end of my Hill Loop and I took the opportunity to make a long warm down with friends. In the afternoon a second run. No sign of rain in the coming days, just cold morning starts. I should have a solid period of training before I back off for the Half Marathon at the end of the month.
