Don't know how you faced running in that weather today IC.  It was horrible.  Well done on getting stuck in though.

Massage and a couple of days rest did the trick with the shoulder.  Total 1600m in the pool this morning, including a huge (for me) 150m non-stop.  I could only swim 25m 6 weeks ago.  I'm made up with the progress.  Shows what a little coaching can do.  Wish I'd done this years ago.

175m on Tuesday.  Baby steps.  

Well I've joined the injury club unfortunately.  Had to skip swimming tonight, feels like a trapped nerve  or muscle spasm around my shoulder blade or something.  Might have been a hard run I did last night.  Luckily got a sports massage first thing tomorrow so that should sort it out.

Swimming progressing well.  With and without fins.  Got a great coach who doesn't overload me with things to work on.  "One thing at a time, get that right and we'll move on and build on it"

Looking forward to it now in June, rather than being terrified.

Thanks Stephen, but I was specifically looking for the book I mentioned.  The Swim Smooth dvd sounds interesting but there is a box set which covers the OW stuff.  

Appreciate the offer though

Cheers Cake, looked everwhere the other night and cheapest I saw was over 20 quid.
