race day

Well the first race day has arrived and it's not good news. The leg is not good, iced it up and popped ibuprofen. We will have to see-at the moment it looks like I will try to get Mandy under 30 mins for the race.

Well race completed-started pacing Mandy but found that I could run as I wanted. I went too fast between 1 and 2k markers but saw it out for an unofficial time of 24 mins 23 seconds.

Not bad for an old fella in his first ever 5k.

Thanks to Chris and Emma for coming with us!

Just as fottnote I managed to finish 141st in an official time of 24mins 22 secs-I await Mandy's official time and position.

rest it up

Well I have been to the Doc's, been told its nowt serious. I have got to take Ibuprofen for two- three weeks and no serious exercise. Really am frustrated by this, looks like the dog ain't gonna miss out though. Dog walking and swimming is all I can do and I am not a fan of swimming.
Weigh in tonight, hoping for a result-should be interesting as its been a real struggle to stay within the points allowance this week.
Disappointing loss only 0.5lb-well done to the other half 3lb
