Friday I hada good run round South London with Alex Byrne. Then I went on 4 day spree of shopping, watched the National Cross Country, worked for Athletics Weekly and was drinking good wine with Alexes parents. Now I have a cold! My fault entirely. Mind it is raining heavily outside and the snow is slushy everywhere and not much fun at all. I hope it doesnt freeze again or it will be glass like everywhere. Anyway I am now itching to get back to running. I really feel ready to put in miles and race somewhere. I think I shall aim for the Riga half marathon in May. Hopefully though one last ski in Mazsalaca this weekend.
I might also run in the veterans competition in Tampere in August. It is time to remind people I am alive again...........
We shall see how the summer goes.

ANOTHER COLD DAY
easy run yesterday in the woods. the ground was rock hard -8 or so and the tracks looked like rivers of glass where they have melted and refrozen several times. Kept the run steady and enjoyed the crunchy noise and feeling wearing studded orienteering shoes.
Sunday I also manged another ski in Mazsalaca. It was cold again, about -12. I went out on my skating skiis. The tracks were very rutted and frozen so skiing was hard to improssible in places. In reality a good skier would have had no problems but I am out of practice and my balance and technique are simply not good enough to cope with this sort of challenge. But is was good fun anyway. My arms and shoulders still ache two days later.
