This week as been quite tough already. 12 miles off road Sunday, 9 miles off road Monday and 8 miles tempo pace on hills last night. Therefore today is going to be a gentle 1250m of front crawl at the local swimming pool.

What: 8 mile hill run
Why: need to keep mileage up mid week as won't run this weekened as partying.

Was going to run 12 but was chased by a cow thing 2 dogs and finally a sheep so guessed god wanted me to call it a day.

Going to gym tonight to do rowing workout, apparently its a good cardiovascular workout, but is easy on the old knees.

Pernickity, when my grandchildren had Chicken Pox my daughter got something from the chemist I think it was called Piriton, it relieves the itching, it also sent them to sleep, not sure what age group can take it.

Why: easing back after an extended post half marathon break (one week turned into two).

Caz, compared with me you have been devoted to your training!
