The dreaded slow down in progress is here?

Well it had to happen! and happen it did, after a slight calf muscle pull developed,
I carried on training and even raced a running cross-country event(which I did enjoy), and then got run-down, and picked up a nasty cold/flu. Luckily it was not one that progressed to an infection, but it did stop me dead in my tracks from training.

Although not welcome, I suppose it came at the best time possible, what with the snowy, icy, wintry conditions, Christmas and holiday time combined,I could just not go on the bike anyway, so have had to rest up, and only just ease myself back into light sessions on the treadmill and turbo trainer.

Santa was kind to me and now I am equipped with a Garmin gps and a nice new shiny triple chain set which I will fit when time permits, and then I can start tackling longer hills as the weather improves and the hill training done over the winter is put into practice, as I search out new routes wide and far away.

I will be mixing up the training for the next fortnight as personal circumstance dictate this but hopefully as the weather improves soon, then I can get my focus back onto the bike with new aplomb.
