x2 25m doggy paddle (the above together sort of). Make sure quick change over and rotate

25m race with partner - I win, still she had a bad ankle.

Still not sure about it, but think I am improving. Quite busy today. Nice crowd. Everyone asked if I made it back okay on Sunday. Oh the shame of it.

Wednesday - Run Club
Wow I surprised myself by actually going. As usual bit tired and nervous at the prospect of the possible 12k long run out. It was freeeeeeeeezing out there on Wednesday, but there were loads of us! The pace was quite fast and I was surprised that I kept up and felt pretty comfortable. So excellent run for me. We did quite a few hills round the back of CP Park and Sydenham. Ran past a house that me and the ex had looked at to buy last year which felt strange but okay.

There were some slow steep ups and fun fast downs - the others did some speed work whilst us less experienced runners kept up the back so they had somewhere to run back to. The knees held out, but now on Friday morning the hip is a bit sore. Still very excited about cycling with the legendary Fruitcake next Wednesday

Turned out that we ran either 7.3 miles in 1hr 7 or 8.3 in 1hr 13. either way I was on top of the world, well Anerley Hill, by the end of it.

Thursday - Day off

Friday - Cycling
It's pissing down! and have to go to the doctors about dodgy mole and hip pain. It woke me up last night (the hip not the mole). Scrabbled about in the dark and found some painkillers thankfully. Oh well. I think it'll dry up a bit later so I can go out at least on the mountain bike after lunch....hmmm foood.
