Had thought I'd try a REALLY slow jog up Troutbeck Valley. After not very long realized that the pain was only getting worse and had to resort to a fast walk. Since I was out in a T-shirt, went as fast as possible in the rain shower to try and keep from getting hypothermia. Thoroughly fed-up as it is nearly 4 weeks since I sprained my ankle and I had hoped gentle jogging would be possible - NOT. The only consolations were the lovely views and a rainbow.

C • And what has the physio said?! 1

80x25m slowish and steady

100x25m (10 sets of 10x25m) of various stuff. Rests between sets not included.

intervals on upright bike thighs hurt & felt tired

rowing just wasn't happening, Can't remember when I was so slow and had no power, so abandonded session and just got 2000m in.

elliptical thingy - just to pass the time unitl James arrived. Feeling totally devoid of energy and enthusiasm

C • Have a rest tomorrow 4

London Zoo for the kids and then back to Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square etc - preparing for Olympic celebration on Thursday. Got home just after 11:30pm. Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Trip to Greenwich by bus and back by boat as the sun was shining. Hampstead Heath was out due to ankle and Greenwich won on culture. Really enjoyed cruise back to Westminster and then walk to Covent Garden. - Why do my feet always hurt like hell when I return to London!

C • Feet 2

Event: City of London Orienteering Race
 

slow - hobbled due to ankle plus I made 2 errors - small one with control 7 being hidden behind a bench and big one in the Barbican controls 14 - 15, because I dropped down a level and shouldn't have. Foot has been extremely painful since; hindering touring London somewhat. Would have liked to have run women's open as it took you to some of the famous sights (St Paul's & the Gherkin), but W40+ proved too much as it was.
No idea about heart rate - forgot to press start for HRM!
