The Christian Dahmen Cause

Alot has happened in the last 2 weeks. Crazy days at OBP, moved house, and it's the run up to Christmas! But managed to fit in the running - even if I struggled to get the update posted last week. So 2 running logs can be found below. Most of the team went to see Christian this week, now that he's settled into his new home in Epsom. Although physically a shadow of his former self - he's still sharp and in good humour. Week 14: W/C 10th December 2011 - Run # Conditions Thoughts on route Distance. 1) Heavy drizzle Bruised biceps from lifting boxes, and sore everything! Funnily enough the runs eases everything up. New route as well ? from new house. 4.71 m. 2) Heavier drizzle Itfs been raining now for what seems like a week! The shoes havenft even dried yet! 4.71m. 3) Guess! Still raining. A warm up, 5 a side, and a long warm down! 3m. 4) Still raining! This weather is beginning to get me down! 3m warm up on the machine ? then out into the wet. Urrgh! 7.72m. 5) At last ? itfs dry A quick dart on the machine to take the edge off the weekend. 6.2m. Total 26.34 m. Week 15: W/C 17th December 2011 - Run # Conditions Thoughts on route Distance. 1) Beautiful fresh morning Thank the lord the weather has broken. New route today ? try something new. Forgot to cover up the nipples though ? ouch! 7.72 m. 2) Raining again So a Sunday afternoon in the garage on the machine. Itfs just not the same. 6.2m. 3) Sun just breaking through ? Cold but bright Monday morning. Another new route ? a very up and down one. 3.63m. No running for a couple of days ? blame the Christmas party! Saw Christian today though. Hard to recognise my friend after not seeing him for a while. . 4) Damp and close night Just enough time for a quick dart before Christmas beers with the Wilsons 4.1m. 5) Fresh night Heard the news that Christchurch had had another day of shakes. Up to 6fs too. Must be hard to keep taking such a pounding ? but again they come out in force to start the clean up. Amazing resilience. 4.71m. Total 26.36m.
