| Friday's run in the rain with Watson |
What with snow, storms and lashing rain for most of the
week, I have to say my motivation has been a little lacking.
 |
| Sunday's bike ride in the snow - didn't quite go to plan |
Sunday was fun when I set of biking and quickly reached snow
– I’d forgotten how hard it is to go uphill with the tyres slipping and sliding
all over the place and decided to cut through the forest. Needless to say I missed the path and my ‘off
piste’ route resulted in a short bike carry and sinking up to mid thigh in ice
cold boggy sludge! Brr.. if anyone was nearby I'm sure they heard my shrieks of
laughter (mixed with the odd profanity) and must have wondered what on earth
was going on.

| Off piste muddiness! |
Even on Wednesday when the day started out bright, the rain
turned up just in time for my bike ride and the track proved interesting with a
few trees down along the way.

As always the thought of going out in the bad weather is
worse than the reality and knowing I would be listing my weeks activity on my
blog spurred me into action as I have to have done something. And after all I did start the blog to help with my motivation – so
that ploy seems to have worked.
