No grey slush I'm pleased to say - forest and mountains trails aren't gritted like city streets ;-)<br /><br />Some of the trails have been pretty tough going, but glad to say this last week the weather has been dry, the snow has cleared from the trails and it's been great running. Despite putting away another tough 50 mile week with lots of ascent and descent my left calf niggle is on the mend, so it does seem related to slippery and broken snow/ice. Both calves still haven't settled completely, and I've picked up a very localised strain in my right quad, nothing that will stop my training though, especially if this good weather continues!

Maybe the slush is less grey in the Trossachs than in city streets. Nonetheless, there is a satisfaction in embracing the full range of each cycle of snow and thaw. The photos are wonderful and you are running well. I hope the calf niggle settlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375743119306394670.post-74754373168126804022013-02-19T09:29:59.313+00:002013-02-19T09:29:59.313+00:00I see that you've started a blog and that you&...I see that you've started a blog and that you've been enjoying the snow too ;-)<br /><br />If you do get to spectate/do support for your brother during the Fling I'm sure it won't be long before you get tempted too, if you love running trails then what more enjoyment can you have than running trails all day long!Robert Osfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960356368117573952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375743119306394670.post-86347916809905541012013-02-18T16:34:20.493+00:002013-02-18T16:34:20.493+00:00Nice pictures - living here is indeed awesome!
