Went back to work on Friday and left early to go to a funeral up in Carlisle. It was a lovely service, a real celebration of the lady's life. Then I met up with some friends, went for a curry and stopped in 'for one' at my local. The 'one' ended up being many many more and I finally staggered to bed about midnight.
Woke up this morning with a dry mouth, sore lips.... but no tonsillitis! I think I must've disinfected them with the alcohol....or drowned them.... but either way they feel much better.
I'll run tomorrow (it's only local and a short one - 21 miles - but it is quite hilly). I'll try out my new nutrition to see how I get on. Worth a try. I just hope I can get over my hangover by then. I'm really far too old to go out drinking. I think it's because I do it so rarely now, that I get so affected by it!
Went to Ambleside on the way home (Kirkstone Pass was impassable due to snow and ice - not a great omen for tomorrow, AND a 26 mile detour for me) and got a nice lightweight pair of Inov8 Roclite boots (see picture left) for the GR5 this year. They only weigh 288g and seem perfect! Waterproof too.....fantastic! Even better, they were half price (£60 instead of £120) so we both got a pair.... Just a shame that we'll be walking the Alps with matching shoes.....oh the shame! Last year I walked in a lightweight leather pair, but they were a bit heavy - these are like wearing flip-flops!
