Snow !

Typical, arranged a run for this evening and it's snowing ! Not pitching that much, just enough to make the roads ( and pavements ) slippery - Mark and I decided to give it a miss.

It's been a great week training wise, still only light volume but the old body is starting to feel good again and the weight is starting to fall off ! Following Sunday's 20 miler I took Monday off and headed down to Weston AC on Tuesday evening for a steady loop of the club circuit. This loop is around 8 miles and involves heading up the hillside to the south of Weston, along the sea front then up the hill to the North before heading back to Hutton Moor sports centre. I could'nt stay with the leaders on the first hill but was into my stride along the promenade and felt great all the way back. It's strange but I really need one hard effort to get my heart and lungs working before I really feel comfortable and can push it to the max - must be an age thing !

Nothing on Wednesday which made me feel guilty.

Weston AC again last night. Thursdays are group nights, I went with the first group and it turned into a real rip up. A couple of people got dropped and some were unable to talk come the end. Pace was constant though which I prefer, nothing worse than going hard then stopping to wait for people. Again it's and 8 mile loop, we got back, stretched out, had a chat and I'd left before any of the other groups returned. Got home, showered then massaged my legs with Magnesium spray before putting on some compression tights which I then wore to bed - got up this morning with no aches or pains, amazing after such a hard session last night !

Anyway, about to sit on the turbo trainer for 30 minutes - more about that later !
