Run - Terrain 1:55:00 [2]
(injured) shoes: VJ Falcons

With Aishy, Jonny and Mark (Boyzone cried off) from the Foxhouse, Houndkirk, Ox Stones, Stanage and back over Higger. Snow crispy on top from last night so very painful to run through with exposed shins (silly me) but an amazingly beautifully sunny day and still day. Legs tired (expected) so thankfully off easy pace and lots of photo opportunities. Posse of 4X4’s stuck in a drift on Houndkirk and another one between Lady Cannings and Burbage Bridge – how can their occupants waste such an amazing day sitting in a vehicle?

Run - Terrain (Snow run) 2:01:05 [4] 15.6 km (7:46 / km) +490m 6:42 / km
weight:69.5kg (injured) shoes: VJ Falcons

Snowy run from Heathersage with OJ, GG RobB, Alex and Little Rob. This was hard, hard work but at least this year I was (just about) able to run with the big boys. Up on Eyam and across to Shatton Moor, mega snow in places and everywhere else was just tough; OJ was immense in path breaking and just trying to keep up running in his footprints had me sweating a treat. Absolutely shattered by the end but an awesome run.

Run - Trail 40:00 [2] 5.6 km (7:09 / km) +100m 6:33 / km
weight:69.4kg (injured) shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR2

Down back to Ponderosa (and back) for a game of this sport when you try and kick a round ball between some posts. Only there is a guy standing there to try and stop you doing so and another team trying to achieve exactly the same as you. Only in the opposite direction. Interesting concept, though I can’t see England ever being any good at it…
3 PM

Run - Terrain (Snow Football) 1:00:00 [3] 3.5 km (17:09 / km)
(injured) shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR2

An hour of said game with ShUOC boys (some of whom had experienced it before). Deep snow made it somewhat challenging to maintain control of the sphere, but at least it didn’t too badly show up my lack of experience of this pastime (or maybe it did?) – though I did bag myself a score at one stage. Effectively a lot of short intervals in deep snow. Very much fun, though I think that the conditions were about optimal for this game. Hartman proved to be a natural.

Physio exercises 15:00 [1]
(injured)

5 PM

Run - Terrain 1:18:30 [3] 12.5 km (6:17 / km) +225m 5:46 / km
weight:68.8kg (injured) shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR2

Up to the golf course for a fartlek session of sorts (there being no speed involved) with a bunch of ShUOC. Snow was mega deep (30cm plus I’d guess) and soft so moving was possible but hard work. Did something like 30 minutes messing about in the snow before an easy run back down the hill home. Was wanting an easy day but sometimes plans have to change.
Also managed to fit in a physio visit this morning (luck to be in first thing as they cancelled the rest of the day while I was there). This being unemployed lark is very agreeable for time management!

Run - Terrain 2:30:00 [3] 25.3 km (5:56 / km) +540m 5:21 / km
slept:6.0 weight:69.5kg (injured)

Amazing snow run with GG and Eric from home. Out to the Headstone (via an unkempt Mike’s path and the golf course), across to Redmires and Burbage Mines (tough in deep snow) and back down Porter. Snow was beautifully soft and fresh and great for running in and aside from developing blisters (from breaking in new shoes) I felt good for the first two hours, last 30 minutes was tough though. Now shattered and heels not looking pretty.

Run - Drills 1:10:00 [2]
(injured) shoes: Asics 1150 (2010)

Another quality session at the EIS with Mrs Candy. Good crowd out again tonight and it was nice to be indoors rather than out in the cold.
