Mice and Men

20/1/2018

​The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men,
Gang aft agley

 
This might be the first time I’ve quoted Robert Burns in the blog but with Burns night only a few days away, this line from To a Mouse is both timely and very appropriate.
 
In my New Year Resolutions, I spoke about getting good, regular training but I didn’t consider that Mother Nature could intervene.  As you will have noticed, we’ve had a lot of snow, ice and low temperatures over the last week which resulted in both of our classes being cancelled this week.  It absolutely was the right decision given the perils of driving in such conditions, but it did leave me climbing the walls, particularly on Tuesday night.  I resorted to practising kata around the kitchen which kept me moving but may not qualify as a quality training.   
 
As I write this on Saturday morning, it’s still a snowy landscape outside so my local Parkrun was also cancelled so the fitness drive will need to wait another few days to restart.  The good news is that the forecast for the coming week looks better, with temperatures rising again so without wanting to jinx things, we should be back in action next week.
 
Just don’t make any plans with mice just yet.
