Progress - 15th January 2012

I don't like the cold weather, it takes too much energy and effort to force yourself outside when you're all cosy indoors.
Be that as it may, I managed a decent 5 miles on Tuesday night and yet another 5.5 on Thursday. The new trainers seem to be helping my knees at this point, which is all good. I'm trying to alter my stride by placing my heel down first and rolling forward to the front of the foot, this all to keep the impact away from my delicate knees and if it works I'll take it.
Sunday Morning saw a slightly later run this week being the day after the night before when we celebrated Colin's 36th [I got that wrong last week] birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today mate.
I actually felt like I had a right old hangover this morning, which is difficult to understand as I haven't touched any alcoholic substance for over 18 months now.
Anyway after suitable medication I opened the door and flung myself out into the -1 coldness of the mid morning sunshine and determined to add some mileage to the Sunday regular. Mission accomplished as well as I pushed on to 9.5 miles this week.

A little add on of a lap round Goldsworth lake did the trick and I shall keep adding to this for a couple of weeks before taking up my old half marathon route of last year. The old scatter lites seem to be keeping track of me better lately.
Not much else to report this week other than I have found Smooth Radio 70s on the net which is keeping me musically inspired.
