It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new year . . .

. . . and I'm feelin' good

So good in fact that despite a solid effort at drinking the Cotswolds dry last night I was keen to join the locals for a New Years Day leg-loosener. 4.8 miles through leafy country lanes, the occasional disturbed pheasant for company and a decent mile and a half hill to keep us honest. Yesterdays' frosty coat had vanished in the night, replaced by dull overcast skies and a chill wind. Nice to be back in the 'plus' temperatures though.

The knees have held up reasonably well considering back-to-back road runs. They, like me, will be pleased to be back in the muddy hills tomorrow.

It's a good start to a new running year.
