More running waffle

Some recent runs:

1. Saturday - Same long run along the lake as the last two Saturdays, modulo a few detours to attempt to avoid nasty ice. I've started to recognise a few regulars. It was above freezing enough last week to melt lots of snow on pathways to slush, but not for long enough for it to drain away, so this had turned back to frozen former

I have no idea how you manage to get out and run in such cold conditions. I get grumpy when I get rained on during a glorious Adelaide mid-winter day of 12C.

My running program tells me that I have to do a 5km race on Saturday. Given my form this morning I'll be happy to break 24 minutes. (A few low-sleep nights and some over-enthusiastic speedwork seem to have had an impact on my legs. I barely managed to hold 5 minute kilometres today. Blecch.)

I won't actually be racing - I have an exam to invigilate on Saturday - but I'll try and do a fast 5km around my usual training course.

Beware of the slush - the last thing you want to do now is to turn an ankle or throw one of your knees out. Slow is sensible in these conditions!
