I've been off and on ever since the Perics race in the Pyrenees this summer, damn near killed me. Since then I've struggled to get any motivation, managed a brief spell of good mountain stuff towards the end of our stay in France, then twisted my ankle on a descent and haven't been right since. So far its been over 6 weeks with about four "runs" in total. Ankle seems better now, but motivation is still hard to find now that its gone cold and dark. Plus, I have a very throaty cough and a pregnant girlfriend who's due this week. Loads of excuses...
