Bloody hell it's nippy out there! -8'C on the way to work this morning. Water was freezing to the screen almost instantly as I was driving along. And it's set to get colder tonight I would love it to snow but that's highly unlikely I'm afriad

Anyway, going to re-start the training tonight and will hit the gym .... far too cold to go for a run or anything outside! Going to have to get a move on as I'll be entering the Great West Run and the Rough Ride when I get around to printing the appilaction forms off. A half marathon and 75km of offroad mountain biking race with over 7,000ft of climbing Done them both before but last year I twisted my ankle a couple of weeks before the GWR and still ran (stupidly). It caused all sorts of problems and made it impossible for me to ride the Rough Ride the following month. This time I'm hoping to avoid stupid injuries and complete both evens in good times ...... about 1hr 45mins for the half marathon and around 7hrs for the Rough Ride
