Remarkably little training

So, my new year's resolution was to 'drink less, exercise more'.  It still counts if it's the other way round, right?  Just 3 weeks to go to Ice Breaker and I've pretty much had a week with no training.  Gulp.  Too much painting to do in the Now-Almost-Finished-Decorating-Kitchen.  And it was snowy.  And New Running Dog slipped on some ice and said snow is now SCARY and she can't go out in it.  Oh dear.

I did do some of the heinous exercise bike followed by drowning though, so it wasn't an entirely non-training week.  And chiro exercises.  And walking the normal dog.

And I had a lovely comment from Mad Mick who is truly mad as he's still reading this... He suggested that the way to not be stiff after running is to sit in a cold bath for ten minutes.  Deep joy.

So, plan for this week:  On Tuesday I have a day off, I'm going to go for an 8k run and then sit in a cold bath.  Oh yes, I know how to party on a day off!

And in view of Ice Breaker being only 3 weeks away and needing to get into serious training, I'm not drinking wine.

I'm having a gin and tonic instead...
