kahtoola!! bless you!

They came today - looking like a device of torture from an s&m dungeon these beauties promise to grip on solid ice just when we rose to a tropical 9 degrees today! i was so hot on my run i could have worn a t-shirt and shorts!! yes they say the ice will be back - i wait with baited breath! until then i will adore my kahtoolas in anticipation of a cold front!!  Dog reps of 3 miles today! All i had time for! Looking forward to long runs at weekend!

good to be back on track...

after running every day in december i ended up with a sore throat on 1st, 2nd and 3rd! damn i should have stayed on the marcothon another month! however by tuesday i felt fine and did 5 miles with donna. by tuesday night i was covered in a rash all over!! went to gp on wed after a night of scratching, tossing and turning.  positive it was either a fungal infection or allergic reaction to 3 possible things [new body cream, new soap powder or new shower cream], doc thought the preceding sore throat and run the day before made it viral so sent me off instructed not to run till gone!! 2 to 6 days if viral and if not gone after that it is reaction so come back for referral! great! anyway the antihistamines made me sleepy all day for next few days i didn't bother about running. but with no change to the rash i stopped using them and felt fine!  wanted to run sat sunday but just in case i held off for the 6 days.  No change!  so bugger all that i went for a run - just easy 3!  feel fab anyway so back on track now i dug out my half mara training plan and made a few modifications and sent it to mara girls!  so stuff the rash i am back on track...
