August update :)

First things first - ankle is okay. THANK GAWD!!!!
GP checked it over, poked it about, it's fine. Just regular pain from turning ankle, good that I rested it but fine to run on it. Very very relieved.

So what else have I been up to this month?

Swimming as per usual.
S&C with LRR - walked last week, ran this week. All good.

Brilliant talk at Tauntons organised by LRR with Active Step about some common running injuries. Bought some new socks - kinda socks that are the equivalent of taping. Good support for ankle.

Had a swimming video session - got the dvd of my swimming to watch. Eeeeeeeeep. Need to work on catch and the last bit of the stroke.

Lovely cycle with Lou to Hilliers out in Ampfield Sunday 14/8, Smith's joined us for a cuppa and I got to check out RHP's exhibition. Probably about 26miles of cycling over the course of the afternoon.

RR10 17/8/16
Cycled to Hursley 11miles, 50mins
Ran 4.4miles 51.09.36
Cycled home 50mins
Left my flat 17:50, back by 21:25
And yes, could barely walk. Had DOMS big time (delayed onset muscle soreness)

All ready for the club champs Sunday 21/8, but have swapped from standard to sprint as worried about the run and the swim. Feeling much happier about Sunday's race now.
