No improvement. Very disappointed not to able to run at the Trossachs. Over 10 years since I last ran there, but at least the kids coped reasonably well.

Event: FVO Middle & Long, UK Orienteering League races
 

Properly ill now. Didn't make it out of the car at the FVO UKOL race. Cold, achy and weak. Paracetamol helping me to function at very basic level.

Coming down with something. Small chance I'll be able to run in a day or two so travelling to Scotland anyway.

Well, after 2 days rest I couldn't resist. Cold, but sunny so wrapped up well and set off up over Hades, around the tops to Upper Cumberworth, then Emley Moor and Grange Moor before dropping down into Mirfield. Back into Huddersfield on the Calder Valley Greenway and back up the Holme Valley. Achilles didn't like it much when I had to dig in on the steep hills, but better than if I'd been running. Ice. Also a few gentle heel raises, but achilles a little sore.

Physio session. More fun with her metal torture tool. Apparently I need to rest it a bit. She doesn't say that too often, so I'll have a couple of days off. Don't particularly fancy cycling at the moment either so perhaps a proper rest...
