The Arrival of Winter

Five layers weren't nearly enough. The sudden leap from balmy autumn to hardcore winter was a considerable shock. I knew it was coming but I still wasn't anywhere near well enough prepared for the wind chill.

The sun came out later, so after a defrost I headed out for a late afternoon run and got drawn by the light all the way to the top of Penyghent for the sunset. It was good to know that compulsion is still there and that I've found the confidence to go with it, trusting to my fitness. That felt good.
