Got a bit of a stiff back. Went out this morning, but didn't really feel comfortable while running, never relaxed into it. Hot shower when I got back, and I've got a Deep Heat pad on my lower back, which is staying there for the next eight hours. Fingers crossed that sorts it out.
Weather's warming up, and brightening up a bit, which is nice. Still dark when I was out this morning, but light when I left for work, so not too far off morning running in the daylight - which is sooo much easier!

Easy like Sunday morning
Another bimble around the usual route. Was toying with going further, but didn't. Mainly because it's cold out there today, despite the sunshine. Felt like I could have easily though, which bodes well.

Sunshine
Well, running in the daylight is good. Running in the sunshine is good too!
Three miler around the South Whitwick loop, on a Saturday afternoon. Felt good; had a stiff knee after the return to running on Thursday, but it's eased off, and today it feels good.
First run in ages I've not recorded / tracked on my phone - I dropped it yesterday and it's in being assessed for repair. Bummer.
Anyway, very pleased with today's run, and the plan is to get out tomorrow and do another too.

Tattoo, hiatus, snow, and back
Right, so it's been a wee while since my last runs. Allow me to explain! I got a new tattoo on Sat 29th Jan, which I had to look after while it healed, obviously. Then it snowed, and I didn't fancy running in that (not so much the cold, more the risk of doing an ankle). It's thawed now, and the weather's a little warmer, and it's almost light in the morning!
Not to mention there's the small matter of a half marathon coming up in somewhere around six weeks. Oh yeah, a half marathon I'm doing without my running-mate, since he's not actually entered. Prat!
So up and at 'em this morning - not quick, and not entirely pleasant, but achieved. Time to build on it and get some serious miles in before we get too close to that. Usual route this morning - felt good at the end though, could have gone on were it not for time pressure. I was going slowly though!
Not got anything planned this weekend, so hopefully get some miles under my belt.
