update

Hi,
I'm still not running much. the orthotics have quite literally 'hit a nerve' and even i've not worn them in over a week, my big toes and balls of both feet are numb... Which i think is affecting my walking and running gait to the point it's causing mechanical issues so i'm getting pain in my knee..
Really Pissed off now, and it been 10 days since my last run.
I have however started swimming regularly now, and the Yoga is going well. I'm certialy feeling the benefit of the stretching and strength work.

Now the weather is dry, the bike has been dusted down, and i'll be using it a lot while the running is off.. And I'll be heading out for the 'Wizard' for a few mile long hill reps on this tough climb in Alderly Edge.

the festive period is over now, and i know i have drunk far too much this last week!! but that's it now. I'd like to say not a drop until MdS, but that would silly and exclude me from many great social events coming up, so i will only have a small amount on these occasions..

Ok, I'm off out again now. Swim this morning, and bike ride this aft. With plans for a long walk (25 - 30 miles) tomorrow over the Dark peak, so early start for that!
