Too much of a good thing

Over the last couple of days I've not done very much exercise, although we did go for a nice walk on the Lickey Hills yesterday with the dog, and watched the families sledging in the still-deep snow.
Today the temperatures have risen a little and the snow is finally melting, which should make it easier to get out for a run, although I stayed in on the treadmill as the pavemnets are slippery in places. I ran quite hard this morning, and as the day has gone on my ankle is feeling rather tender, but it doesn't appear to be swollen.
Tomorrow is my birthday and the celebrations have begun early. We went to Symphony Hall in Birmingham this afternoon to listen to 'The four seasons by candlelight', which was a spectacular two hours of music.
Unfortunately I'm feeling somewhat sick now as we came home and ate an entire box of Thorntons chocolates! I guess that means an extra 10 minutes running will be needed in the morning. Actually, I'd better make that an extra 20 minutes as we're going out for a Chinese birthday buffet tomorrow evening.
