176 days left

Beautiful snowy morning. Took me a bit of time to clear the snow off the car so missed the initial warm up at the pool. In the lane with Gordon, Neil and Christian, where have all the girlies gone! 2.8km with only the two lengths of fly. Gordon Freil is a bad influence.
Up to the Uni for a run. The scene looked lovely but people were falling like 9 pins. The trick was to avoid the path which was just solid ice. The plan was amended to just running along the roads. Quite a crowd there despite the conditions, a quick name check of AH, JH, AF, JC, FM, SP, DP, PB, OB, NS, JL, NH, CP, DM. Probably missed a few but can confirm that SW was definitely not there. Rumour has it that he is feeling 'a bit tired' after a weeks training. Worried that he is pushing himself too hard. My gps recorded that I went 17 steps and burnt 2 calories. The lesson to take from this is don't switch it on 5 mins before the start. I'm just going to have to guesstimate that it was an hour and 10km.
I now have a manager, Mr Stuart Prentice. Apparently I will need one, if only just to mess with my head. The backroom team is building up. I think the next requirement must be a physio/masseuse. Any volunteers?
