The running thread!

I did think of a recovery run this afternoon but it's so cold here that I decided against. It's bad enough in a sheletered spot but then with the wind, it's not pleasant at all. So I played with my new toy and uploaded the data from yesterday I love the elevation and speed profile. I had hoped that the slower uphills would be matched by faster downhills, but I think the Garmin must have developed a fault

Went out for another hour today, black ice and snow still in the borders, flat Holland should be easy on the return.

Rain turning to snow here, am about to go out for 4 or 5

A tale of what ought to have been - I ought to have set of earlier, I ought not to have left it until Anne was getting dinner, I ooght not to have waited until it started snowing...

2.75 sloppy miles, turned back as it was slippery and I decided that not falling over was a good idea

2.75 miles is still more than many people run in a year so bag it as a job well done!

I did 8 miles with strides yesterday along the Thames in driving rain, which wasn't too pleasant.

I think I may be developing shin splints though as I have been getting pain down both shins in the last few weeks...

I am able to run through them though and they normally get better after 3 or 4 miles and they are not painful enough to stop me, so I'm not entirely sure that it is them.

Went for a 5 miler earlier with a couple of people from work, so slowed a bit and even though we were running through proper puddles/mud etc. and it was cold I didn't feel a thing?

No sense, no pain

I'm about to get changed, aiming for a 6pm departure for a 5 miler. Last night it was snowing, tonight it's raining
