Any Runners On Here??

[Chislenko]

so I'll be starting at a much lower level and building back up.

I appear to be at a permanent lower level nowadays 😟

I use Yaktrax in conditions like this. Did 5k yesterday a route with reasonable ice coverage.

There's been a few of us taken tumbles over the years, our running club instigated an annual " Mr Tumble " award for whoever had taken the most impressive fall during training. As we've aged we don't bounce as well. one of the lads broke his shoulder which needed quite extensive surgery. My most impressive was at the end of a long training run when I was going flat out along the Studland Road to try and make the Chain Ferry. I was a bit concussed but fortunately as my wife was a Nurse she stuck the bit of my nose that was flapping about back in place and kept an eye on me. The photo is post patch-up, it looked a lot more impressive when it happened and earned me that years Mr Tumble award 😁

Oof. Feels wrong to like that photo - but you know what I mean.

Ouch!

Ice and snow here. The main thing stopping me though is the need to take things easy for a little bit post covid. Short walks and Pilates/ light weights for the moment then will add in some swimming in a few days.
I had envisaged a gentle recovery on the bike but the weather's put paid to that.

I got an email yesterday providing further details on an event I have entered f next year. I noted I was placed in what, to me, was the wrong age category so queried that.

They got back to me quickly and explained that they base it on year of birth and not date of birth.

Anyone else had an organiser work that way?

That’s a first for me. Sounds a bit lazy, even if they’re expecting loads of entries it’s pretty easy to sort the categories 🤔

Does seem lazy on first analysis. Generally less than 2000 entrants.

First event I will have done in Norway so possibly some unique to the country?

I walked 5k today on an off-road route. Hopefully will start running again a bit closer to Christmas. I really miss it.

Gentle 5 miles from Haworth to stanbury with the dog.

She loves the snow.

Good to get out, better weather next week.

Blimey. And that's one of those you hold onto as well !

Just 5k treadmill for me. Annoyingly I seem to have picked up a knee kniggle. Maybe it doesn't like the cold.

Anyone dared go out this morning, our local parkrun was cancelled because of ice?

I was going to do five or six miles but after sliding round the back garden thought better of it.
