Weathers been that bad even Ive succumbed to the indoor treadmill after two weeks running on snow & ice I needed to get the feel of flat clean ground under my feet the problem with run on compacted snow is the bumps jar the joints and tendons thats why I picked up slight abductor strain.
Its in one those embarrasing places that you dont wanna let the Physo' get there hands on except of course if shes attractive ,Ive known runners invent injuries just to go along to check out a nice looking phsyo in the area but mine should be ok knowing my powers of recovery &' Kellys eye 'immortal healing properties .
Dont mind the snow but wouldnt wanna have to train on it 6/7 days a week like those poor sods who are still competitive athletes I can please myself when to go out .
All the slow running get to yous and its good to have burn up occasionaly I did 30 mins at bout 80% effort including some show boating altho the gym was empty thanks to the fair weather trainers I half expected the gym to be closed Im sure it was durng last yrs Artic blast .
The Gym scales are fecked they dont seem to give the same reading twice ? either that or they are on an uneven surface still 11st 5lbs ?? but think Im get used ter running under this weight .
I see M60 'Mike Hagger ' is still running a one man assualt force on many masters titles & age world records supposed to be 60 but looks like feck 70 hope I dont look like that at his feck age !!.

Gym jog treadmill 1x 20 mins 1x 10 mins dont ask me wat pace but it was just enough to feel the burn some geezer a non runner on treadmill next to me with the feet of an elephant you could feel the vibrations across the other side of the gym no wonder the machines are bust !!.
The Thought of Drinking this xmas is enough to turn my liver inside out esp' as Ive just started kicking myself into shape so I be sticking to wine this year and not stuffing my face ahead of the traditional xmas run .
Footnote
Bumped into an old drinking pal few weeks ago I was shocked to find hed had a 'Heart by pass ' hes same age as me 52 ' like me he used to be very fit when he was younger and was verygood footballer at one time courted by few Lge clubs .
He reckoned it was the drink & fags thank feck I had my running to keep me on the right rd otherwise I may have ended up like him too !! we used to call him 'George Pissed ' as he was the 'George Best 'of the non Lge when ever we had a match we had to hunt him down & drag him out of the pub but even when he was half cut he was still good enough to run rings round the oppo ' .
I remeber one night under the influance of alchol he agreed to play for three different pub teams the following day but never turned up for any, one pub team found out where he lived and wouldnt go away until he answered the door eventually he persuaded his poor mom to make up story hed broke his leg but it meant he had to steer clear of all the local pubs for months !!.
