Decided to swap my #REDJanuary run for a snowy walk with the kids, with many many snowball fights 😏 Also features a selection of local snowmen.

I missed my first RED January Day yesterday as my body rebelled against me. I was absolutely gutted at messing up my streak so felt I had to make it count today; killed two birds with one stone and did my local run club's timeless 5km while I was at it. Now need to de-sweat and hope my uterus doesn't seek revenge because I dared move today 🙄

Actual lifting content, minus cat! 🥳 Paused squats (I promise the pause was there in real life 👀) and lots of deadlifts (4x8 @ 80kg, last set shown).

I've been living, lifting and running in Vivo Barefoot shoes for as long as I can remember, but as I am rapidly wearing through the sole of my trail shoes I figured I'd give these Merrell "Vapor Glove 4" barefoot running shoes a go. Felt more snug than expected but not in a bad way (there's a "fits like a glove" joke in there somewhere) and no problems with rubbing or pinching. Obviously I'll take them on a longer run at some point but so far so good. 👍
