Hibernation!

It all makes sense to me know - hibernation. I mean, who in their right mind would be outside in this bitterly cold weather? I've tried but had a few "Bambi moments" and headed back indoors. This week has been extremely busy, stressful and involved travelling. My son shadowed me for a week at work for experience. We had a great time but 2 days in London knocks the training out. So I've been on the turbo trainer, which sits next to a radiator, and am delighted to report my "turbo legs" are back. My heart rate is back to normal so I'm feeling good. In London I ran on a treadmill for an hour and although this isn't something I enjoy, it was a good workout. Last night I headed out for a run in the dark and was on my bum before I reached the front gate so back in for another turbo session. But I need running miles in my legs so I'm heading out on the trails this afternoon on this dry, sunny and freezing cold day. Here's hoping I stay up right. But before that I'm off to the local farmers market with my wife to get in the food for tonight we are having friends round for dinner. I'll need to be carefull on the liquid carbs as tomorrow I am away running with the Ultra Runners. Should be fun!
