Wednesday 14th, 5.33, +5.0dg with a sunny morning and rainy afternoon forecast. Last night at 22.00 as I was going to bed it was +5.8dg outside.. not very wintery sadly. Forecasting for the mountain a dusting of new snow. Freeze-thaw conditions max 4°C on Fri morning, min -4°C on Wed night, but they are forecasting incoming snow Friday with heavy falls on Saturday, easing for Sunday...Murphy's Law with incoming guests for the weekend. My trip to the mountain, organised for tomorrow is now cancelled due to a small mishap early yesterday morning. On my early morning walk I decided to test the hill road, up Latschaustr. into Foppastr. and out past the Aktiv Park... it was going well if I stayed in the middle of the road where the slippery bits were almost nonexistent, I had my headlight on the whole way to monitor the surface and adjusted my speed according to surface. Came out of Foppastr. and onto the main road and there was a river of ice coming out of a driveway. A over K. Can't move for several minutes. A long pause to wait for mobility and then headed home slowly. By 13.00 my right knee has developed a new look, and I am in seriously uncomfortable walk mode. Not to be the master of understatement, to say I am pissed off is a good start. I have worked so hard to get my right knee fit after the op last April...sure it will only be a twist as I felt the knee twist when I hit the road, but now I know it is not a happy knee. I gave myself until this morning to see how it came through the night so I will go to the Doc to make sure it is just as I think. Living in a four level house, in a winter climate, poses challenges when you are not totally sprightly..... I am well miffed at myself, and the lesson to be learnt is that it is better to lie in bed in the mornings and be a couch potato through the day ..it is dangerous to try to keep a good level of fitness. The end.
