Tempo run had to be postponed because of the weather conditions, so changed plans and ran with Paul. Started off by running down to his house and then the planned route was Stanage Pole and back. That was going OK until we hit Fulwood Lane where the wind had blown the snow into these mad crazy drifts that were up to head height. On top of that, the wind was whipping the snow off the tops of the drifts and freezing our faces. We battled through them up to the corner just past the turn off to Burbage mines, but then it looked like someone had literally filled the entire road to chest height with snow and there was no way through. We re-planned, turned round and went back to Ringinglow and from there picked up the Round Sheffield walk route, which while still tough running wasn't as exposed. What this run lacked in distance, it made up for in toughness. Running strongly still at the end, a little stiff in the right hip.

Needed one of these for Fulwood Lane:
