Nothing of significance to report. A few walks with the pooch (including one at 2am when she wouldn't stop bleedin barking). Went to watch over Lucy sledging with the little 'uns - have never been so cold in my life as on top of that hill . Did a ton of work with Web Content Extractor which is my new favouritest toy. Bed early - with zero alcohol!

Up at 5:45 nice and early. Lot of snow come down in night. Took pooch for walk early doors. Set off for work at 7:15, took one hour twenty minutes to get in. Have had enough of this snow and that's a fact. Took pooch out for a little walk which didn't track. Then went a walk on me tod for two miles. Went to bed a bit later than should have due to reading a new book - American Assassin.

Up at 5:30. Took pooch out - it was always going to be a shortish walk cause I wanted to go a run this morning but pooch shortened it by not wanting to go any distance at all! Then got home and went out for a run - MyAsic plan said three mile jog so that's what happened - the pace looks diabolical as that tool on Match of the Day would say but bear in mind there's a stop to get newspapers up town and that there's a lot of running in slippy snow so am not bovvered.
Left work bang on time. Bosskat going to Ronan Keating in sunny Nottingham so no time to waste! Set off at 6:10pm, picked up Boss's friend from Mayfield and we were parking up in Talbot Street car park by 7:15. All running on rails no getting lost for once! Me and Lucy went to watch Life of Pi, while the boss and her mate went to watch the folks from Westlifezone or whatever do their thing.
Back home for 11:45, took Pooch out to do her business.

Up at 5:45. Knackered. Took pooch up town and back, got papers and got back by 7am so all good so far. Training all day which overran by an hour so had to hotfoot it down to Belper for Group - delivered a cable and 3 boxes of hifis as well. Lost half a pound, probably more than I deserved but in fairness to me I ain't had a drink for a week now! Took pooch another walk and was supposed to do a five mile run but didn't fancy it.
Thursday 24th January 2013
Up at 5:30. Took pooch for a walk only half a mile or so but was as much as she wanted to do. Then did the five mile run that was due yesterday. Pretty much bang on 10 minute miles; 9:59, 9:52, 10:06, 9:54, 10:09 last mile was hard work with jumping off the road onto the pavement and back lots of times - pavements were still mega icy so tried to do as much as possible on the roads but as luck is the A515 coming into Ashbourne seems to be the busiest of the roads unfortunately and it's still the one with the most snow round it. Such is life - good to be running again.
Took pooch out in the evening - another 2 miles done - slow going as always!
Friday 25th January 2013
Was going to get up at 5:15 anyway but pooch barking at 5am fast tracked it a bit. So took dog out for just short of 2 miles. Got back, had half a cup of coffee, got Phil up then ran up town and back to get papers - 2.68 miles in 27mins 11secs so just over 10 min/mile pace on slippy pavements is acceptable I reckon. Picked up two XL Sundridge waterproof jackets for fishing on way home, very quilted and very waterproof. Then picked up a Zumba Fitness for Wii thing for Lucy, bargain I hope at £9.91. Back home took pooch out for two walks testing out the new waterproofs in the pouring snow.

Up at 6:36!!! Took Pooch out, got back shifted some snow but it'll probable be all gone by teatime anyway - good riddance to it haven't played golf in yonks. In fact, this is the nearest I've got to golf:
Never mind. Did a 7.8 mile run in the slush and cak. Very hard work but pleased at getting round with sub-11 minute miles overall but wasn't half tired in no time at all. http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/154636765/7469884
