I have two runs to recount, a rare but welcome visit to Seaford Striders club night on Wednesday, and a solo three miles on Boxing Day.
The Striders were a little depleted, it being Christmas Eve Eve, but there were enough of us to form two groups. The fast group set off to run our winter route in reverse, while I joined the slow-coaches, who ran the route in its conventional, anti-clockwise direction. We met the fast runners in Hillside Avenue, at about the same time as we met Santa's sleigh, pulled through ice and snow by Seaford Rotary Club.
We pressed on, past the cemetry, up Barn Rise along North Way, and back by way of Kedale Road and Elm Grove.
On Boxing Day, to purge myself, I set off for the three mile Seaford head route. It was hard work, and windy at times. A light shower of sleet fell as I reached the highest point of the route. The ground was saturated and slippery, and I took an oblique route down Seaford Head at the end, in the interests of safety.
