I wish I had a lunch hour, I get 30 mins.
Hopefully your knee doesn't play silly buggers.

Got out this evening. 6.5 miles. It didn't help when the head torch batteries died on the first mile. At the darkest off road moment. Luckily I'd picked up spares. It took 4 attempts before my brain kicked in and I remembered to press and hold to turn on the rear light. All whilst continuing to run/stumble in the darkness.
I enjoyed the run. However my ankle is a touch tender now. Rest day tomorrow.

Watch that ankle!

Had a whiz round a local route on the mountain bike yesterday, with Mabel running with me but forgot to take the Garmin. Hoping to get out for a run at some point today when I get back from my hospital appointment.

Hospital appointment - Hopefully nothing serious.


Ankle feeling back to normal this morning, once I got over the initial creakiness getting out of bed.

Nope, nothing to be overly concerned about. Lymph node in my neck has been up since I had that nasty cough and cold at Christmas. The doctor wanted an ultrasound done on it just to check it out. Chap doing the ultrasound had a look and said he's not concerned about it as it's not looking at all unpleasant. Back to the doctor later to chat about it with her.

Glad your ankle is OK again.

Never got out for a run in the end today, spent the afternoon dealing with the wheel bearings on the mountain bike ready for a ride tomorrow.

Gary, I'm glad it's nothing serious.


Got out at lunch time did my new Glen Faba route again. Today was really muddy!
Didn't help with my time, I was nearly late back. 3.1 muddy miles.


Still I managed to snap a quick pic.

Got out for my Friday afternoon run. 6.5 miles. Managed most of it in the light.

I'm now starting to get even more cranky and crabby than usual as I've not run since Monday. Really need to get my accounts finished and submitted as I can't think about anything else atm.
Having said that, I'm trying to sort a social run with some of the other canicross runners for Sunday afternoon. Desperately need to get out.....

Got out just now. 10.7 glorious miles. OK I'm slightly knackered right now. But it felt good. Especially as that 1/2 is only 3 weeks away.
