Went out on my bike yesterday just 10 miles but the first ride in a month and it felt good . Still wish I could do more but it's just so cold (Well it wasn't that cold yesterday which is why I ventured out!)

Have the pains started?

hehe. I wouldn't normally be bothered, the clocks change back at the start of April which means the evenings then become light and so I can go out after work. But as it is that's only 2 weeks before I go on holiday - where I want to be doing a bit of cycling, and I want to be as fit as possible for that.

I bought a pair of snow shoes two weeks ago. I figured I won't get much xc-skii-ing done on weekdays but I just might strap then on for 1-2 hour trips around the local forests. Sundays 1h45 min hike was 7km long. Todays was probably even shorter.

Great fun!

Nice riding on New Years Day, because the traffic levels are light so I can just ride out into the lane where I would normally have to take my life into my hands. But most importantly no buses! It actually took me a while whilst riding along the road through Birtley to realise why it was different and it was because I'm not being pushed to the side by double deckers every 2 minutes.

The weather in the Lake District is not that great to get out and about. Although I have yet another cold I managed a 6km coastal walk yesterday and a 20km bike ride before the heavens opened this morning. I also finally managed to run 5km in under 30 minutes on 27th December by knocking 51 seconds off my previous personal best to run it in 29 minutes and 14 seconds. I did a happy dance when I stopped, if anyone saw me they will no doubt think I am crazy.

Just signed up to do a 30 mile bike ride at the end of February. I'd better get some practice in as I couldn't do that at the moment! (I did do 20 miles last weekend but the route was reasonably easy)

Laced up my sneaks a few days ago and started running again, for the first time in about three years .
Now my left ankle hurts like hell

You are certainly able to easily ride those 30 miles, do not worry. Still a bit of training will help make it easier.

Oh yeah. I've no doubt I will be able to do the distance. It's just a question of how knackered I am afterwards .
