I’m sitting at my kitchen table, which is after all my desk, my clutter or filing only takes up a bit of space, THEN HWMBO comes home and takes up the remainder of the space, not sure I like sharing my desk, tis mine, all mine…..words needed me thinks!! L.I.B
Still freezing outside today so decided to put my yaktraks on my Hokas, was a little worried that perhaps they wouldn’t fit the trainers because of the larger sole, but with a bit of fiddling around they were perfect. What a difference they made, no slipping or sliding on the snow or ice, fantastic. Only did a 16k run as I was still finding my asthma a bit of a problem and if I put too much pressure on my chest it turns into an infection. I have upped my preventer inhaler which should help.
Morse the naughty jack russell is extremely annoying to run with in the snow, he loves it but keeps stopping in front of me wanting to pick a bit of snow up in his mouth that I have just kicked, bless him, he thinks its all a game designed especially for him.
I was frozen after my run, walked round the supermarket covered from head to toe in anything I could find in the car to keep me warm, not a good look, but thankfully nobody I knew saw me! (not as bad as going to the supermarket in your PJ’s) then home, two cups of black coffee, something to eat and a hot bath and finally I felt warm, lovely.
I’m not feeling prepared for my next race in just over 3 weeks time. I seem to have a lot of races (for me!) up to the end of June which need maps, hotels etc etc. I order maps for one race, forget to order for the others, forget which one is which so I will turn up for the TP100 with maps for the Viking Ultra – think I might just get lost.
Jo K and I are doing a recce of the Viking way in a couple of weeks time, accommodation and train tickets books, I have even told HWMBO (that doesn’t happen often!) the only think left to do is order you guessed it my maps.
Last night the Anderson household swelled to 6 people in the house, 3 family, 3 guests, tonight my youngest has failed to inform me of her activities and Son & Heir to Nothing is staying with a friend, so it looks as though its just HWMBO, myself and the dogs……is this what retirement is going to be like – GULP!
I have been trying to research an idea James Adams and I have, very difficult to find any sort of information on the internet, will have to think of another way to glean knowledge!
Tomorrow is my long run 42k which I am looking forward to provided we don’t get more snow tonight. I love running in the snow, but my body gets cold very quickly. Hay ho, all part of the fun.
Happy training
