Legs Redux
Ratho in winter
I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I had gone back into the gym to begin the process of regaining lost fitness. I’m pleased -and a little surprised- to report that on Monday just past I succesfully ran a 5K, albeit on a treadmill, and today ran for a comfortable 40 minutes. At this rate I’ll be at 10K distances within a week and back on track to longer distances thereafter.
I’m a bit taken aback by this as I had assumed that it would take longer and be more painful than has turned out to be the case so I’m optimistic about being in half marathon form for May. Of course with my track record an injury is probably lurking just around the corner
I took the picture to the left a couple of weeks ago when Kirstin and I tried to go for a walk by the Union Canal at Ratho. The walk didn’t go well because of the ice underfoot but I got some nice photos. This one was taken in black and white but I’ve added some toning in Photoshop. Generally I prefer not to use Photoshop if I can help it except for re-sizing but with Black and White I don’t mind doing things which I might once have done (clumsily) in a darkroom
