Again I have managed to leave it 2 weeks before an update, I do have a good excuse this time though!!
Not much training recently, just a couple of turbos and runs since that last update.
Main reason behind this has been down to moving house, unfortunately those boxes do not pack themselves. I also had a quick trip up to Perth last weekend to see the St Johnstone v Aberdeen game, which then got postponed!! Still it was good to catch up with people up north.
House move has now been more or less completed, a few bits and bobs left to move then a weekend of cleaning - deep joy. Then just all the boxes to unpack and get the new turbo dungeon setup in the garage.
A change to my event schedule this year is that i have decided to scratch The Hell of The Ashdown, I have only had 2 outdoor rides since October due to knee rehab and the event has just come a little too soon for me. I'm sure I could probably get round it but a hilly 110km is not in the training plan just yet. It's a shame as it looks a great event, but there is always 2011.

A new year
Happy New Year to anyody reading this blog.
Had a really good festive period which started with an early present from my physio by getting the go ahead to start running again. Unfortunately a bout of cramp earlier that week saw me hang on a little longer before venturing out.
Managed to avoid the major snow on the drive to Scotland for Christmas and had a really nice few days with the mother-in-law. Had planned my first run for Christmas day, but chose to postpone due to the icy conditions. First run put back to the 27th and again foiled, this time by the fresh foot of snow outside. Headed up to the highlands for new year which was fantastic, very cold (max temps of -7 during the day) but nice and sunny. No use for cycling but did manage my first run, offroad in the snow with my mum with some spectacular scenery. Much of the week was spent walking.
back to work this week and the new plan for 2010. Mondays run was successfully if very slow, a decent turbo session on Tuesday, I postponed yesterdays run again due to a foot of fresh snow (can't believe I have typed that twice in one blog entry). Was hoping to get out on the bike this weekend, but the current amount of snow on the roads coupled with the low temps and fresh snow forecast over the next few days, it is starting to look a bit like a turbotastic weekend.
