This really was the lamest excuse for a run ever. I woke up with no kids. Ray was off to run 36 miles. I was going to come too, but as I got to the pub at 6 the night before, and was still doing vodka shots at 2am, I thought I might be a bit of a liability.

I jogged to post some Christmas cards, and then ran our of energy at the canal, so dropped in to see tessa. She listened to me spouting jibberish with great manners, and after about an hour I set off walking to town to buy some presents, and started to sober up :-(

By mid afternoon I decided I could legally drive, so went to pick up the van from the far side of the meadows. By now I felt really shit so I took Laurence's scooter as I felt too lazy to walk. I think I have damaged my calf even more when I hit a curb and went flying. Hmm. Must try growing up soon.

Same old mystery illness. Muscle / joint ache, fever, headache, nausea...

Running home from work. The soles of my feet are still numb, but things seem to be progressing as the skin is dying, hence blisters! Nice. I got to about dvc and met a neighbour, so walked home with him.

To dvc, then down to long shorts, and back via the bog. That was the extent of my grand hbt wassail 2015. Short, but all the same. My calf was really crap all day.

There was a nice new orienteering song. The sport being summed up with the rhyme 'shite' and 'trite'. The love us really ;-)

Lunch time escape.

Home from work. Gotta get a new job! Numb feet = no pf pain. Result! My hip flexor tightened on the way home, which is usually a precursor to a calf pull. I think I got home just in time.

New injury. I seem to have got frostbite on the soles of both feet, quite a few of my toes, and a thumb. Not serious - no swelling - but completely numb. I'll just take it easy for a few days.
