The festive period is upon us. Usually, it's a period I anticipate with some joy as it is synonymous with holidays, good TV and snowball fights. There is something soothing about being in the warmth of the indoors, as rough weather batters the outdoor surroundings. This year, my thoughts shifted to those of trepidation. Icy roads a happy 'Been does not make. With the swimming pool and all gyms closed for a while, I am now heavily reliant on the roads staying clear in order to keep up training.
Waking up to the sight of snow has therefore not been a comfort this week. I am continuously monitoring the weather, looking for signs of improvement. In the meantime, I'm looking to focus on the positives: it's a good opportunity to focus on core strength with indoor drills. Also, the bike hasn't been used enough recently so it's a chance to make up for lost time.
In perhaps the most pathetic moment of my running career, I injured my foot in an inexplicable living room incident involving my Chicken Cottage miniature Football. So even though the roads were clear today, any running has been put on hold. Fortunately, it seems to be healing now and I expect to be fit again by the week's end. I'll be going home for the next week and will hope to build up to a long run (14-16 miles) during that time.
