IM Update

Been having a massage, seems to be making things better, but when I run the next day it hurts a lot. Also have a bad shoulder, which he is working on, but I think it’s just a kind of RSI from working and holding the mouse!! What a shandy.

Also had a leak in the house – into the lounge from the ceiling – Mr Negative here thought i’d have to get the ceiling down, but in the end it was just the toilet value leaking – fixed with a 20p washer (and slightly more than that for the call out).

Been a terrible couple of weeks for the cycling, only went out for a short one in weeks, did run up to Wentwood last week, which was a pretty good, if a bit tiring run – and it was snowing, and I saw some deer and a squirrel.

Still just about managing to get a swim a week in, still doing 1700m, in around 45 mins. I think i might be getting ever so slightly faster (but by seconds not minutes) which is not great. I think I should be breathing less, but I get very out of breath under the water. Pretty much anyone who has been in a lane next to me is faster – which isn’t delightful.

Running is still okay, not pushed the miles at all yet, do try to get at lest one run over 10 a week, with a couple of fours and a six if I can. Although this week I was in Cardiff for two days and had a belter of a hangover on Sunday ;o)

Mr fitness told me all my body is weak, and my “glutes don’t fire”, and all in all I think a bit disappointing. So I have just bought a kettle bell, and he showed me some simple moves – which make me sweat, so from April I will be giving it some.

I also need to stop eating so much..

Bank holiday tomorrow, so I don’t think I’ll get a cycle in again, April needs some focus as middle of May is the CarTen.

Week Stats (so far (sun – thurs)):

Swim: 1700m

Run: 6miles

Beers: None (omg – desperate for one)
