16 weeks to Edinburgh................ by Dave_H

Hey all,hope everyone is having a good week,has gone a bit cold again.Must say I felt the chill on monday and went to the gym like a pansy to run in the warmth.Does get a bit hot in there and am not a lover of treadmills but was an ok slow 10k.Tuesday is down on my plan as a faster run day so did 8 miles.One mile warm up,10 minutes fast followed by four minutes slow,one mile warm down total time 55 mins.Yesterday was mid-week longer run,so run down to the thames and along the path,was a bit gusty and snow began to come down on the way back.Probably should have put my long johns on as my knees were a bit red by time I got home,love that look people give you where they don't know to respect you or give you a wide berth in case your a nutter!Still the cold helped as didn't make the ice bath feel so cold when I got in,if that makes sense.Today was 1 mile warm up,3 in 20 minutes and 1 mile warm down,total time 34 minutes. Tomarrow shall do a slow 4 miles but only to burn off all the cakes i'll be eating,it's my birthday,yay!!
