Robert & I ran through Stanwick Lakes to Islip & back, round a couple of lakes, down to the Irthlingborough bridge entrance and back to the start in 2hours 13minutes. It was a sunny, but a very cold day, running down white paths 90% of the time (luckily it wasn't slippy). I found it quite tough breathing in such cold air, but was pleased to keep going for what must be around a half-marathon. Even managed a burst of speed at the end!
Much of the lakes was frozen, capturing icy ripples, and leaving little open water for the ducks & swans. Lots of birds about, saw flocks of geese, goldfinches on the teazles and fieldfare flying along the hedgerows. Rest from running tomorrow - I think I need it!
