Gym (Cardio) 10:00 [3] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
(injured)
Tried not to kill myself on the stridey-runny-thingy machine. A fair bit more motion, hence a sore achilles.
Strength training 20:00 [2]
Deus Ex Machina
Gym (Cross-trainer) 45:00 9.84 km (4:34 / km)
ahr:153 max:166 (injured)
Back on the non-impact exercise - found this quite tough going, suffering a bit from a wee bit of a head cold, but did my best to ignore it.

(rest day)
On the road, on the road, on the road again
Back up the M6 to reach home, at last! Pretty easy travel conditions, much snow gone in the Lakes (by comparison to the trip down 10 days ago) and less in the Borders too - but lots more in Dunblane! Couldn't get the car into the driveway without 45 minutes of snow shovelling. A good 8 - 10 inches. There didn't seem to be anything like that amount near Stirling, even... Dunblane strikes again!

Hill walking 2:00:00 [1]
New Year's Day walk up the Wrekin with Beccy - out and back via Ercall Woods. Heaving with folks. Just a fine layer of snow on the hill, lots of slippery bits - nice views across to the Welsh mountains.

Running (Trail) 57:08 [3] 12.25 km (4:40 / km) +128m 4:26 / km
ahr:154 max:166 (injured) shoes: Asics Gel Cumulus 11
In Telford today - coming down with Beccy's cold. Headed out to Lilleshall monument at a reasonable pace, but was feeling out of sorts by the time I got there (5km) and was less energetic on the way back, the long route through Granville country park. Pretty cold but absolutely none of the promised snow.

(rest day)
Another enforced rest day in the great tour of Britain. Packing, driving from Dartmouth to Telford, via a stop in north Birmingham to visit great-granny Lesley in hospital. Long day on the road.

Running (Road) 41:51 [3] 8.52 km (4:55 / km) +273m 4:14 / km
ahr:145 max:165 (injured) shoes: Asics Gel Cumulus 11
A miserable day in Dartmouth, fit for little else than a run, and a short one at that. Everything from Beccy's parents' house begins with a steep downhill and ends with a steep uphill, but my achilles didn't protest too much. My Xmas belly did though.
Down to town, along the sea front to the castle, back along the roof of the town, and up the very steep country road. Very pictureseque, and very soggy.

More family duties - a full day trip to Paignton Zoo (very good).
