Winter bites back

Winter bites back by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

When I woke up this morning, there was light dusting of snow falling.  I've no idea how long it had been going on for, but it didn't last much past 7 o'clock and nothing remained after it stopped.  So, no excuses!!!

So off I went for today's 25-minute session.  And I have to say, I hated it.  I got nowhere hear what I achieved on the last similar run and this was all down to how sodding cold it is out there.  The kind of cold that seeps into your muscles and bones in spite of physical exertion and makes breathing a right pain.  Even now, over an hour later, my chest and throat are very sore.

Next week is the beginning of what I see as 'training in earnest', the first week to include 4 sessions.  Weather permitting, I think I've made a decent start and am ready to to step things up a notch.  With Colin at work today, I'm spending the time on further Spanish study and F1 highlights later (damn Sky for nabbing the live rights again).
