One of those beautiful mornings, hoar frost and barely above freezing, but stunning views of the sun rising over the Woodgate Valley. Started early (ish) and took it very easy, as per the plan but also in respect to icy pavements. I never feel very stable at the best of times, but definitely had a few Bambi moments!

Felt really good through the Country Park and then took in a circuit of Shenley, Northfield and Cotteridge, meeting a few other BVH'ers going the other way. Feeling a little strain on the top of the left leg - has been a theme after 10 miles, so will have to watch out for this. Back in time for the Xmas Panto in the afternoon, combined with the taking down of the decorations yesterday signifies the end of the festive season, and back to normality!

Week 3 (pt 2)! - 36.8 miles. Pleased with the effort over the Xmas period
