Good running, great reading Venom.
Hippo, seems you're beginning to make a habit of this 10m miling lark. I don't think I do do 10min miles, but I certainly have fast and slow speeds. Do you ever try mixing them up? I find I can build up both speed and the distance I can maintain same if I decide that a certain patch I will put the brakes on, and another I will notch the speed up to fast, and then a bit more. I was getting somewhere with that, I think, before I broke.
That's coming on. Thanks for all your good wishes folks, it seems to be working. Able to reach my feet to put real shoes on this afternoon.
Got to the pool this morning for exercises. I think I had made a fundamental mistake - getting keen on regarding swimming as a workout, rather than pool exercises as a thrice weekly must. Started getting to the pool only once or twice a week, when I had time and energy to swim train. Probably the recipe for disaster. I should know this by now.
Also spent all last week in overdrive, preparing for a talk last Saturday, so it's possible that some of the problem was not simple mechanical failure but lurgy-inflammation related.
Who cares. It's getting better. Thanks folks.
