6.2m Airport hill

Practically crawled up the hill today. Sore toe, not really. Recovered from cold, not really.

Still it was chilly and that kept me moving. After the slow climb I crossed paths with a couple of people doing the route in a different direction to me.

There was a guy doing hill reps at the red cross who I had to avoid deftly.

Managed to clatter down the hill to record a 4m km, first of the year.

5m Mini Foulee

Cold, very wet and very dark.

Forgot my head torch and so even with two girls up front with theirs I'd my foot in a puddle after 3 minutes. Happened again several times.

Paul was leaping around like a springbok and chatting away.

Wet feet, cold and dark.

Garmin died after not even half way.

2.6m Lion Rock via Farland point

Paul came out in his new kit and he was much fitter than me.

Tripped and fell on the stairs last night, barefoot and ripped the big toe nail off my left foot. It was oozing blood and agony. Luckily it popped back in and I got some gel on it so it did not swell up too much.

Second problem is a stinking cold, got from my dad, who got it from my brother. I could barely run it was so painful I could put no weight on the toe so was running on the heel and outside of my left foot.

I'm out for at least a week. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
