No Snow Yet

As you can see from this morning's pic above, it's a little frosty, not to mention icey! (you can see the ice on the top of the fence and on my bike 'garage')
So, this morning's run was not only chilly, and although I'm getting the hang of that bit, it was also a tad treacherous due to the icey nature of the footpaths. It looked rather impressive with all the ice over the ground, trees and bushes! I managed to stay upright despite going fro a brief slide on the ice - the heart-rate monitor rather humourously where my speed drops dramatically and is accompanied by a sharp rise in my heartbeat! Funnily enough, I wasn't the only runner silly enough to be running on the ice and through the mist/fog this morning. I still haven't had my marathon entry confirmed through the ballot process, but the Spinal Injury Association has guaranteed me a place if the ballot entry comes through as a 'nay'.

It has been a rather quiet week so far, as it's been taken up mostly by trapsing around the area to places like the Citizen's Advice Bureau after our landlord let himself into our house on sunday. It seems to have sorted itself out now, but we're not 100% convinced by this fellow's words... Time will tell I guess.

Last night was a trip into High Holborn to meet two of Charity's relatives that her mother has only recently discovered while tracing their family history. Both guys were a few years older than us, but were good to meet, and we ended up learning a few new spots (okay, pubs) in central London.

Off to the AXA xmas party tonight...
