In the words of Len Goodman


SeVEEEN!

Miles done this morning. If you take a rest day for no other reason than that you are a bit of a lazy cow, you will be greeted with snow and dense fog the next morning at 4:30.

So, back on with the Inov-8's and away I went. Felt a bit scared today, for the first time in ages. It was really eerie. Some creature shot off across the snow just ahead of me. On days when you are a bit nervy and things cannot be seen clearly in the ferg, you get an Imagination Animal Free Pass, so it was a puma.

I've not seen fog that thick for some time and I couldn't actually tell how far along some of the roads I was. It was creepy, for sure. With snow melting and dripping on to my head, it reminded me of a ghost train. I know snow doesn't drop off trees, but they drop stuff on your head sometimes don' they. Do they? I think they do.

Undecided about Dewsbury. There is really no other reason to do this race than aiming for a PB. So do I want to bother? I don't know. I'm enjoying running regularly at the moment, but I've not exactly been pushing myself. Really don't know.

How can it possibly be Thursday already and how can it possibly be a week into February already? Slow down please.

Sent a text trying to get people together to go and watch The History Boys at the Playhouse. One of my friends replied 'who are the history boys?'. I reckon she thought it was a gig.

Collected my new funky green Fastwitch from the post office place this morning. They are Fab. What with that, running and HAVING to stop for petrol this morning, I'm a bit put out that I've a day of work to do now. I think I deserve to be at home, to be honest.

  1. Loving the Fastwitches.

    If I remember correctly, you use a Garmin? How about including your runs on Garmin Connect and putting them on this blog?

    You could even mark the location of wildlife en route :-)
