Hello everybody . . . just wondering how you are all getting on now. I am still getting twinges from my knee and while I am running it makes me nervous of getting back to my previous schedule. I spent about an hour and half working in the garden the other day with a fair amount of kneeling and the day after could really feel it, makes me think this is still not completely fixed even after all this time 

Out again this morning, also wanted to check to see what the main roads where like before going to work . . . still lots of fresh snow to run on so no real grip problems and still very people about, think everybody has hibernated!,  . . . which may not be such a bad idea

No Theresa, I won’t run on ice either . . . at the movement in my area (East Mids) the snow on the pavements and around the local park has not compacted too much yet, so there is still a fair amount of grip. I just run in my normal trainers, don’t have anything else anyway  . . . and more snow forecast around here tomorrow.

Just and back from a 6 mile off road run today. A lot easier off road than on by the looks of it. Hard work on the legs but had the whole place to myself. A distinct lack of the "new year runners" in all the kit.
I did have some bloke ask me if I was mad? Although it wasn't me that was carrying a carrier bag full of dog poo.

Yes, I think I had a similar comment from a snow shoveller but it was largely unintelligible due to the fact I had my headphones on

Just back from a nice run in the snow, a bit slippery in places so more of a slow plod really but very enjoyable. Didn't see many people about, the odd dog walker and that’s about it, certainly no other runners . . . anybody else venture out today? or planning to?
