On the road again

It's been good to get on the road again even though I probably overdid it on Sunday.

Running on the snow is amazing. There is something about being the first person to run on snowy ground. It's almost like being an explorer going where no one has gone before. Although clearly this isn't the case.

After my run was a physio session with Mark who gave me a clean bill of health with the focus being on strengthening my legs. After physio on Saturday morning I aborted my morning run because my ankle felt a bit sore.

On Sunday things were a bit better so I went on a mad ice run wearing my innov8's for grip. The only way to run on icy paths is very fast ~ well as fast as is possible. I work on the theory that if you do that there is less risk of falling and breaking something. Don't care if this is rubbish cos it works for me.

However this is mucho ankle movement so yesterday in the gym was a bit tame and today was on the spin bike.

Lesson learned is behave yourself and don't show off when you are trying to recover from an injury.

Plan for this weekend coming is to step up to 8 miles and wear sensible shoes (Innov8's have no support).

There was an interesting blog reply suggest that rather than spending £3K+ I should run 26.2 miles on the same date as the NY marathon and use the money to have a massive party. I like this idea and will consider it but I'm going to have to get the atmosphere and the landscape somehow. Suggestion please. The dafter the better.

Signing off now and going to do some one legged balancing.
