Easy run; more exploring neighbourhood ; no RH achilles pain, still some inner knee /top of calf niggling, which also bothered me on satruday

Got a bit lost in a field - wasn't where i thought i was.

Note: not sure about flat living. Listening to the dysfunctional couple upstairs walking around at all hours, and hearing their voices sometimes, is...... hmmm.

Lots of really nice houses round here - love the neighbourhood. Day dreaming about a) selling Clifton flat, b) buying a fabulous house here, (with the proceeds) c) letting out this awesome flat for my income. This, seriously, could work. The trumpet player in my band is a partner in an accountancy firm, & he showed me I could reduce my capital gains tax by a HUGE amount, if i sell the Clifton place (which I've now had for ..... over 23 years!!!!!).

See how things go. Blimey, 23 years. Where did those years go.

C • dead end field 2

Cycle to southville (tea), Cube cinema (climbing film), then home after 10pm.

60 or 65 mins total i think.

Took Tim Tett to the bouldering wall (Bloc) - was good, tho i tried to show him how to do some moves (barefoot....) & my shoulder is still well and truly cream crackered.

oh well............

Giving achilles a chance to rest, so rode the bike instead.

had to get off a couple of times in Frome valley.

plus 10 mins easy ride back from Fishponds later.

Gig last night, home 1:30 am - shattered.

Note to self: no runs / races on gig days, please. I'm too old.

anyone who thinks a Green on Clifton Downs is a real easy option (I did a blue in 1993 - 6.6km in 33 minutes...... ) should see how long some people took to do the Green yesterday. Good course, but not what was expected.....

Clifton/Durdham downs Green course - how hard can it be? Peasy, no?

Disaster. RH achilles bad. - why? as soon as i started jogging to start. WT actual F? comments on strava.


wet; slippery; scale 1:5k & detail too much for old eyes; barely found no 1 clean, let alone 3 & 6 (minutes lost). Retired, as was clearly due to be late for marshalling changeover, and also gig later was on my mind (being late for)

(as it happened, I got relief early from marshalling, but that was only cos a friend saw my plight).

DOMS in shins, and in a pretty beaten up way generally.

OK, so yesterday was idiotic.

Nice day, explore Frome valley, which has climbing, & an orienteering map called "Oldbury Court". Took 1:25k OS printout. Came back via the very scenic Frenchay Village. Lots of grass to run on, too. a damp otter is right - the running / training possibilities around here are great. I'm going to have no shortage of places to train on. Vastly better than BS3 or BS14! :-)

Kms seemed to be chugging by in sub-5, so kept it up really, tho wasn't feeling perky. Two slow kms were uphills, and i found them quite hard.

I don't feel fit at all, but i guess this is quite a good sign?

also 1.2km jog at end as by 8km / 5 miles I'd had enough, so stopped, stretched, rested , then trundled back home (new flat - noisy people above and below - oh dear). Got the drill out & joined in! Haaaa!
