Going out for an hour or so when I get round to it.

Weather a bit grim at the moment, so maybe a g&T instead.....

Still trying to decide if I can today - woke up with a cold and sore lower back, not sure if I have a temperature or not. Will probably give it a miss and switch my planned 10km to tomorrow's rest day instead. John's gone out in the pouring rain to do his, but left junior wolf cub behind, much to his disgust. Alpha female still is under convalescence from her knee surgery so not allowed to run either. What a sorry bunch.

What: gentle jog on a 7 mile loop to admire the flooded valley.
Last session - hard session on Christmas Eve to do heart rate max tests for a couple of club mates.
Next session - 7 miler tomorrow morning to check progress on floods.

I confess - i didn't do my planned run on Xmas Day. Cuddling under the duvet after a breakfast in bed won the day.

What: am 5M easy run at 6am.

Then organised a 5 mile road race. All went quite well & I think [hope] everybody enjoyed themselves.
I include an under 21 prize in this race as well as the usual one's, an idea of somebody's from this forum. Thank you to them for the idea. Both prizes went to clubmates.
I did make one mistake, so please don't tell me off. I forgot the eerrmm.... water table for the finish. [I'm sorry this will not happen again].
Oh & I got to meet my first forumite in the flesh, [Ashley] which was nice as it makes this all seam a bit more real somehow.

pm: 8M steady to unwind. Should have been a session but decided to swap it around with tomorrow's training.

what: a few strides, then 2 miles in 12:28, then last 2/3rd mile in 5 mins.

why: Having got up 10.00, spent much of a.m. printing & sellotapiing together 1:25000 Multimap extracts covering the Helsby course (sad or what?), poked around MFI, B&Q & Homebase, then spent the rest of the afternoon comatose in front of the football scores, felt I had to get out & wake my limbs up. But didn't want to take anything out of myself with hard 10-miler planned tomorrow (today now - yikes!).

last hard day: Xmas Eve
last easy day: Xmas day
last long day: Sun
last rest day: Mon

night all
