Brrrr! It's cold!

What a difference a week makes. Last weekend I was back in good old blighty; fighting the airports is never fun. However I did manage to see the wonderful rolling hills of the Charnwood Forest and complete my famous Shepshed and Loughborough loop in record time. I completed the roughly 15KM run in 1 hour 20 minutes. Which is just about 5min and 20seconds per KM so I'm getting close.

One thing I noticed was how damn cold it was being back in blighty. Rain on Friday and I actually put the heating on to warm the house. It's a bit of a shock when coming back from warm Vienna.

Sunday was back at the gym just doing a short run on the treadmill; a few weights and then a nice swim. Monday was another fight with those lovely people at Birmingham airport. Queues I had never seen ever! I was even in the business class lane and still so slow. Oh well never mind I eventually made it back to Vienna but it was cold! The change in tempurature is amazing. Schneeberg has snow and Vienna is in single figures. Time to bring back my big warm coat.

Today I went for a run at the Prater and manged to complete the 8km in 38minutes. It felt quite good although I was pretty cold even though I was wearing a running jacket. Winter is coming!

Fingers crossed for a slow long 20-30KM on Saturday. Just as long as there is no snow!
