Since last week Monday we have a cold that goes through any amount of layers, flesh and straight into your bones where it stays and every now an again makes your hair stand on end and positions itself in goosebumps that would scare any heat away. Yes, I am filled with a dread because the fairweather runner in me wants to stay at home, cuddle up on the couch, under a big blanket/duvet and go into hibernation until spring presents itself and takes away any temperatures below 15 degrees.
Unfortunately I know that isn't going to happen and now I'm in desperate search of some motivation to get out there.
Its hard.

Hello fellow South African. Good to make your acquaintance.
