Racing and Training 2018

am I did the Royal Oak loop fairly early in the morning. It was therefore a bit sluggish. My injury appears to be improving so maybe that is a good sign.

am This morning I pondered on whether the stiffness and soreness that I was experiencing in my hip & glutes was (1) injury related or (2) age & fitness related. I decided on the latter. So I was cleared to do a morning 4K easy run... with a bit of walking on the climbs. I ran according to heart rate, something I wouldn't bother about if I was fit. But in these early days of rehab I didn't want to push it too hard. Physio session later and I might also do something in the gym if there is anything left unpummelled.

am I ran to the Riverfront. I ran the parkrun at an easy pace. Trying not to worry about people overtaking me. I ran home with a fair amount of walking on the ascents.

pm I was thinking of going to Caerleon to run on the flat. The traffic was so bad i couldn't get there. So I came home and ran from home. I did a shortened version of the Tennyson steps loop.

am I did the Riverfront parkrun. Still very tentative

Mum died yesterday. I felt I had to get out for some fresh air I did the Royal Oak loop. Still very tentative.
