Tuesday - rugby

My god it was cold. Weather went from T-shirt warm on 30th November, to frozen ground and cold air burning in our lungs. Our trainer is still ill, looking like he's got swine flu, so we trained with the boys.

Once we warmed up it wasn't so bad but it was a fast frenetic session with lots of conditioning.

We figured the ground would be a bit softer for the game in the last 1/2 hour...it wasn't. Frozen waves of sod, that last week were soft mud, were hard and sharp and I have a bruise the size of brazil up my leg. Feeeeeeeling it today, but will probably head to the gym tonight to work the stiftness out so I don't spend the next few days limping like and arthritic slug.

Cold weather training, getting frost nip and chilblanes............. I miss it

Cold weather training is fine as long as the ground hasn't frozen. Then it's a real bitch!
