Brrrrrrrr...................

6.45am, cold, frosty and dark......but  Suzanne and I  were out there!
The chance of a 3 course lunch in an executive box at the Madjeski stadium, watching Reading V Hull (thanks Louise) necessitated an early training start today to fit everything in!

-3c meant it took a little while to warm up, but it also meant we walked a lot quicker than usual in order to do so.
 We did a well known route around Greenham Common, from the main gate on Burys Bank Road, covering the whole perimeter, about 8 miles in total, and watched a beautiful sunrise, which was quickly replaced by a bit of snow, then sleet, and finally rain...time to head to Costa coffee for the obligatory breakfast stop.
After the very necessary refuelling of cappuccino and chocolate twist, Suzanne (virtuously) went right, to do another circuit of the common, and I went left, to collect Mali and Golda from home, in order to do a quick 'Newbury loop' (3 miles) before heading off to the football and my roast lunch!

Managed to burn a few calories cheering Reading on..final score 1-1
Burnt a few more calories waving at Suzanne's partner and son who were sat looking very cold in the stands......hehehe!
