Not many runs to report either, but I did finally get back out there and managed a grand total of ONE run this week! My knee seems a lot better (it's actually worse when I am lying down for any length of time, but walking and running seems to be no problem). In between, there has been a couple of strength training sessions at home, and some cycling in the sub-zero temperatures.
Other than my minimal exercise this week (perhaps my body is still recovering from the 100km+ challenge a few weeks ago? I have been really tired and unmotivated re: fitness this week too) I've been mainly getting excited about my debut novel, and trying to share that around the big wide world of the web. Thank you for your support and encouraging words too! These are exciting times.
