December 2012

[glaconman]

December draws to a close and it's been a pretty good month.

I did the first leg of a fell relay in mid-December running as a pair. The other two outings I'd had in fell relays included unwanted drama and bad planning of one sort or another. This one passed off without incident and I had an enjoyable run.

I've found the ultimate off-road running shoe. A discovery that shouldn't be under-estimated given my ever fragile body.

I'm running almost completely off-road now. Niggles all down my lower limbs have more-or-less forced this upon me. But I'm loving it. Will I ever run another road race?

The bicycle rollers are fantastic.

I hope I can keep going because in 10 days time it's the Yorkshire Cross Country Championships. I got in the top 100 a couple of years ago but I doubt if I'll manage that this time around. This will be followed later in the year by the Northerns and Nationals. The Nationals are supposed to be quite an experience. Particularly if it's muddy. But it's doubtful if I'll make the start line for these. We'll see.

Anyway, I can't complain at the moment. I'm in some sort of groove. Happy New Year.
