Return to normality?
May2920086:23 p.m.
Not yet.
I had an extra day off work on Tuesday (thankfully) and took it easy and drank tea all day.
Wednesday back to work (Bah humbug), I did go to the gym for a very easy stretch, bike,rower, x-trainer and sauna session (the whole of 10 minutes each) but even that tired me out, I was only trying to loosen off a bit.
Thursday, not a bloody thing. The left quad is still quite sore, the right shin also, I am going to lose the big toe nail and first toe nail on left foot and have I mentioned before about a sore achilles on the right leg?
Cannot quite walk without a limp at the moment, until me limbs warm up a bit, old age is a terrible thing - right Janis?
I checked my FLM07/Edinburgh 08 times and at the 10k, Half & 30 K point, I was ahead on my Edinburgh schedule. The wheels really did seize in the last 12 K didn't they? Never mind, theres always another day?
Might go for a swim tomorrow, but at the moment, I am going home.

kizzi10000 'Hope you're feeling better soon. Think I'm relatively normal today ( and I left myself way open there lol), with only the chafing from the bum bag bothering me still. Can't stop yawning though - something to do with the kids getting me up before 7 every day this week! Halfway I hit 3 hours! Boy did I slow down in the last 3 miles.' added 29th May 2008

Pidge 'Hi- congrats on a great achievement and a great time; all the more impressive with one foot hanging off too! Get that achilles sorted now...oh and well done to Hull. But, as my colleague (also a Hull fan) says: "oh God. Bring on the mass humiliation". It may be a tough old season....' added 31st May 2008

Account_closed 'Probably a good time for a holiday. I would love to book a week off after Loch Ness and drive around the highlands, but it's not to be. Same as you two days off and straight back into it.' added 3rd Jun 2008
