Note
(rest day)
A change to the routine today - back in the office for the first time in weeks (mostly to do a media conference on the cold, but also took the chance to get various other things done which are more easily done in the office than from home). The change in routine didn't suit training too well though - original plan was to go out during the day, but realised that fronting up in front of the cameras post-run might not have been the best of ideas (especially had I encountered one of the day's numerous icy showers).
Plan B was to go out once I got home, later than planned because I'd forgotten that in the early part of the evening peak trains that stop at Fairfield only run every 20 minutes and I missed one by 30 seconds. (The trains are still running their normal schedule and are consequently very empty; there were five people on my carriage this morning). And then when I finally did get out, it was immediately clear that I shouldn't have bothered....
Still, I did get to have an in-person conversation with someone I know (the forecasting colleague I did the media conference with) for the first time in six weeks.
