Icy roads and paths which haven't melted fully all day so I abandoned the 3 mile run and did 3 miles of walking instead. That will have to do!

Better than me, GM.

I'm going to start my training tomorrow before work but it'll have to be a treadmill run with the predicted icy conditions.

More cycling for me today. I anticipate that the DOMS afflicting my whole body (with the exception of the region which, according to mythology, contains a revered and elusive Core) will have settled by tomorrow and I'll be able to cope with a treadmill run after work. Just a short one, though, because I'll be reacclimatising after a few weeks off the treadmill.

I might swim in the morning as it's a training day so can go to the *pool in big town* before school. Then I can run on Wednesday instead as, I think the ice should have gone by then *crosses fingers*

swim, eh? Are you planning to cut a corner by going across the lake? ;)

(I might take my swimming kit to work tomorrow in case I get away early enough for a trip to the pool.)

I managed a chilly 2.25 miles just before sunset. Still pretty icy so I did some of it on the towpath - the frozen mud and grass was preferable to the icy roads.
Next run won't be until Friday now - hopefully a longer one.
Will get some brisk walking done on the treadmill between now and then though.

We managed I think 5 miles. I have some wobbly bits I don't recall being there a week or so ago. But I can work on those.

my plan is meant to start tomorrow with a PT session followed by a swim. I've just had a colleague phone in sick, so I shall be working instead :-(

The early swim didn't happen, nor did the lunchtime alternative slot materialise. I guess I was being a tad optimistic. I still forget how much in demand I am at school, whilst I'm on holiday 😂😂
