Run and trouble
went for my first run in weeks at lunch time. Very sore heel again. Bugger. Not good. Also struggled to keep a good pace. Going to have to try nurophen and physio.
cycle
only managed 4 hours sleep for the last few nights. Still in New York mode. Did a 45 minutes cycle in the gym tonight. 7 reps in zone 4 and 5. Trees managed a 5k run. heel not good today but who cares. Let me at em!
Swim
Managed a swim tonight before I needed to pop over and get Lauren.
6 x 50 metre sprints with some warm up and down. Managed between 45 and 49 seconds with 2 mins recovery inbetween.
Trees managed a nice and easy 40 lengths getting out of the pool nice and fresh.
Popped over to a Physio this afternoon. My left knee does not extend beyond my foot enough to allow me to run properly. The end result is that my achilles tears to compensate. Compared to my right knee you can see a big difference.
I now have an exercise to strenghten and 2 to stretch slowly but surely.
This should get back on running in a few weeks. If not, I have been over doing the stretching. More of a rip.
Onwards and upwards.
The tribe are here
We have Lauren, Kelsey, Allan and Charlie staying over tonight.
Going to be a long, noisy and fun night. Don't think I am going to get a lie in tomorrow.
Allan and I are watching the West Ham vs Man U match tomorrow. If they beat us again I am going to sit on his face and trump!
Swin with Carole
Carole came along with Trees for a swim this morning. Carole is doing a race for life so is keeping fit. Tried to convert from breast stroke swimming to front crawl. Very good for a first effort.
Trees pounded out another 50 lengths. That is 200 this week. So much for increasing at 10% per week.
I managed to do some technique training inbetween all this.
Ironman the Movie
Just been to see Ironman the movie with Debbie, Carole, John, Pat, Lauren and the kids.
Cannot believe that all the women liked the movie.
Got to get myself an Ironman T-Shirt.
