Eastleigh 10k 1:21.58

10k bike ride to Eastleigh
Ran The Eastleigh 10k with Sue. 
We ran constantly. I only walked twice. Once through the water station and then when stopped to hug Fiona at the bottom of her road 
I then cycled home 10k
Shower, lunch then cycled to work 2-8pm
Cycled home 
Pizza and TV

What a day 

So how am I feeling?
The run was great
No issues at all.
My feet were abit sore but I have a feeling that could be from the cold open water swimming last Sunday 
When we finished the race my left hip sort of seized up and I did limping for 15mins or so. Was very disconcerting. 

I think the bike ride home helped loosen it up and now I'm tired, my left hip is okay but my groin is sore. 
Needless to say I'm still excited about the Southampton half but there maybe a fair amount of of walking 🤗

BikeRunBike - last CC6 of the season

It's 23:30 and I'm at mums 
How am I feeling after approx 20k cycling and 7k running this morning? 

I'm tired
My groin is slightly sore
I'm a bit stiff

But that's pretty much it so far.
The Winchester 10k, Tuesday I did have some  DOMs so it'll be interesting to see how I feel in a couple of days

Overall though, I am feeling very positive about my recovery 

My diabetic nurse has suggested a weekly injection to help get my blood sugars down as ideally I'd like to be back (at a minimum) to pre diabetic numbers within 6months 
It'll be August then
I'll have done at least one 10k, a half marathon, a sprint tri and a standard tri by then. It'll also be when the Outlaw2026 registration opens.
