Not tinebeest here but stickless - long training weekend in a very windy cornwall. 18k of gorgeously varied running, inland as the coast path is Not a good idea today!

Go well all!

Afternoon!

Back from a nice bike ride out to the coast, then a run-walk on the paths through the dunes. I wanted to do my usual 9-1 run-walk ratio, but the shoes thought otherwise after about 35 minutes, and forced me to walk a lot more lest the sole of my feet and toes would fall off. (that is what it felt like). Still, 1h40' of forward motion, before biking back in record speed. The wind has turned, obviously.

I hope the slightly milder weather is here to stay for a bit longer. It made for a nice change.

Now off to do some more scheming and planning for the training weekend Stickless mentioned. Nice excuse to pick out some lovely bits of Cornish coastpath...

Hope all is well with everyone, I've been away because too busy to keep up, but training goes alright. Will probably disappear again for a while, work is mental at the mo.

Thanks everyone. Alehouse: yes, that is the one! Met some Dutch people somewhere, did you? Boy they make a fuss of birthdays. They'd be outraged to learn I have no intention of eating cake today. I have enjoyed a very very quiet day, no appointments, time to write and time to think. Utterly lovely and zen    Oh, and Ale: fingers crossed for the PSA!

Donaldo, not cheating. I am sure the great Sunzi has a few things to say about using your environment wisely against your enemies

LMH: oh dear! I hope not. Perhaps your body just needs a couple of runs to remember where it was, before you left off?

Emzap: most likely the cold playing games with you and your mind

OH: seriously impressive snow stories. Take care!

Birks: hope the perfect job comes along very soon

As usual on Monday, nothing for me exercise-wise. We had some good laughs reading through translations of both seen and unseen texts from the mid-semester exams. More painful was actually marking them. To be continued on the morrow.
