Super Spikes do it again

Out with The Herb at lunch today on a very cold day - -12º when we left home this morning.  Microspikes on just past Tesco and wound The Herb up by sprinting off whenever we hit a patch of ice.  A very steady 5miler, and not entirely sure of pace as I was on iPhone timing due to forgetting my watch.

All was going swimmingly, and we'd even stopped to let Andrew experience the magic of the spikes, when he complained of a pain in his calf, then suddenly let out a yelp and stopped - torn calf is the disgnosis from me, as it sounds exactly like both of my tears.  Bugger for the big lad - he's just getting back into regular running after about 2 years of injury.

Also today we got to view the super new showers at work - 6 shower cubicles, permanent lockers and a cage each for us "regulars" in the spiffing drying room.  Luxury - very chuffed.  No excuse not to run and cycle now (apart from it's coming up to Christmas, it's freezing and I seem to be out on the lash every other night).

Also ordered K's new car - a small 4WD to help her get out when it's slippy, but also wangled a detachable towbar as part of the deal, so will be splashing out on a posh bike rack so we can travel to various sportives in style!
