Feeling a bit disappointed as icy pavements did not allow much of a run today. Managed to run for a while on the frozen grass in the park but not a great amount .We also spent more time outside which cut down on the inside exercises. Think I may invest in a giant blow torch and get Michael to run infront of me -melting the ice as he goes. Then again he is full of hot air anyhow.

It has been a fairly good training week. Not sure I am that pleased about Michael’s telephone contact with my Physio seems they are conspiring to slow me down a little-admittedly to aid my recovery. Because of this Michael has introduced some different routines. Today was a day inside with thirty minutes boxing and kicking. This was followed by lunges sit-ups and various exercises focusing on my injury to help strengthen muscles around the damaged ligament. Once again really enjoyable week and very pleased I can still train despite minor …

Last week was a short week after a long weekend. Today I was looking forward to a long run then a good half an hour inside. We achieved a really good run and managed to ignore the flurry of snow and much lower temperature. Also a really good session with the medicine ball. Just hoping the snow stays at bay and we can get back into full swing. Roll on the spring when weather will be much brighter and we can spend more time training outside.

Its a full week now that we have been back out pounding the streets for about half an hour. There has been no mention of a slow re-introduction of our previous fitness levels it is back to it full on. For that I am pleased in a way as the body does seem to retain the fitness level for sometime at least. I do although take objection to a comment being made by a regular  dog walker on MY weight loss and Michael taking the compliment for himself ! My neck is …

At last out into the morning air not able to run as yet still some snow residue but a brisk walk at least. Michael continues to be sympathetic to my injury ( long may this unusual behaviour continue !) and so once again pilates/yoga to ease back into our sessions. Hopefully a run on Monday depending on weather and weekend champagne consumption.
