January
Yesterday’s snow lay welded to the frozen ground, shiny as glass, slippery as jellied eels. Happily enough of the powdered variety remained, offering a satisfyingly crunchy surface for my morning lope.

The eastern hills slowly revealed a blood-soaked sun, a layer of bruised cloud hovering above, the outer edges a deep brooding purple. By the time I turned for home the sun had risen behind the cloud, the gap between heaven and earth glowing like hot coals on a cold dark night.

An easy-ish five miles for me today, fear of falling and deference to this, my highest weekly mileage since February last year, urging caution.

I’ve fished some stats on last year out of the forums. I’m a confirmed ludite, preferring estimated times and distances, more of a time-on-my-feet sort of chap. It seems ‘less is more’ certainly was the order of the day, at least pre-Paris. For those stat monkeys amongst us (sigh) here are the monthly totals (kms in brackets). Sadly I have no cross-referenced weight/ distance ratio pie charts or spreadsheets to share. Altogether now . . .

2006
Jan: 92.1 (147) Feb: 77.1 (123) – includes one week at 33 (53)
Mar: 91.5 (146) Apr: 66.2 (106) – includes Paris Marathon
May: 63.5 (102) Jun: 18.1 (29)
Jul: 93 (149) Aug: 104.1 (166)
Sep: 89 (142) Oct: 76 (122) – includes Jog Shop Jog
Nov: 65 (104) Dec: 68 (109)

2007
Jan: 89* (142) – projected total: 110.1 (176)
[SIZE="1"]*includes today[/SIZE]

Ok, now I’m nodding off . . .
Five snowy miles, 49 minutes or there abouts Wink

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
