I haven't written about October, November or December 2015 so those months must forever go unremembered in Plodding history. Perhaps not such a bad thing: apparently there were only 33.2 hours of sunshine in Sheffield recorded in December 2015. Everybody go and get yourselves some Vitamin D.
Sheffield, December 2015 |
January has brought loads of new Plodders and we're delighted to see them! It's also brought some novelty snow, some much-needed sunshine and crisp, clear plods up to the moor.
Rudd Hill. Nightfall. Snow.
Now that 2016's here we've all got to start getting real about our plans - and what a range of plans there are! We've got members who are: aiming at their first half marathons, entering iconic Yorkshire races, training for sub-3 hour marathons, cutting off the seconds to get sub-18 parkruns, mounting bikes and buying wetsuits for triathlons (including a budding iron man), returning to favorite local fell races, forming vague and over-ambitious plans for 100+ ultramarathons, and psyching themselves up for Scottish races over big spikey hills...and more. If any of that sounds remotely interesting then do come along: The Greystones, 1830, every Wednesday.
