Morning Run: Boxing day bash

steevc just finished a 6.4km run, that lasted for 50 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 615.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
We had a good Christmas day with the family. Lots of presents and tons of food. We stayed in all day. I needed to get out today.

It was feeling chilly as I came out. Three of us met up. The pavements were slippery in places and the road may have been better. We went into the Hermitage park where there were quite a few people walking dogs and running.

Then we headed up Blackford Hill. The tracks there were quite varied. Some are full of rocks and it was muddy in places. It is quite a climb and I did walk a bit, but we made it to the top. Others had also made it up there. The wind really hit you and made it feel much colder so we did not stay long. There was snow on other hills. The view is spectacular over the whole city.

Coming down was less grueling, but you had to watch your step. Lower down the are big steps made with railway sleepers. One of the guys jogged down, but I took it very steadily as a slip would be nasty.

It was just raining a little as we got back, but we did not get too wet. It was enough of a run to work up an appetite for a hearty breakfast, after a nice shower.

I hope you all had a good time and the runners have a great 2023.

The rest was relatively easy, but you still needed to be wary of ice.
