It's 7.45am and it's dark! The sun struggles to rise and then after what feels like a few hours, it's dark again! If it weren't for my dog (Kibo), and my alarm, I would probably still be asleep at 9 or even 10am. Winter is hard and my mood does drop for sure. So what do you do? Get out, grin and bare it? Or hibernate? I have decided to stick to shorter runs and gym sessions and when the mood takes me, maybe, I can get in some longer days out, preferably with others.
I have to say that I really admire people who can get out for hours and hours whatever the weather. Although I am less phased now, I am generally a fair weather girl. Lacking confidence in the mountains doesn't help and I just hope I can learn more and grow in confidence so that I am less phased by the possibility of getting lost.
I will end on a positive note though. Winter can be glorious. When the air is crisp cold, the sky is clear blue and the sun gives of a slight warmth. Going up into the fells is always worth it for the views on that day and so long as you wrap up nothing beats a winter day like that.
