Recovering...

I'm definitely over the worst of the flu/cold/virus thing. Taken it fairly easy for a couple of days, just keeping to a steady pace and doing no more than 7k runs but went out this morning and felt so much better. Will start to build up the training again starting with a session on the rower today - and that's guaranteed to sweat out any last remnants of those nasty bugs still hanging around.

Last week James and I received our Gorilla suits through the post. To be honest I was too ill to get excited about them but I think that this week we can have some fun with them. We're planning a Christmas Day x-country training run in the suits and then wearing them for the Knacker Cracker on New Years Day. It'll be hard work running with the Gorilla mask on though because breathing's quite an effort and also the eye holes are quite small making it difficult to see where your going. Sholuld be interesting trying to negotiate the steep ups and downs on Box Hill!
