Niggles under control

Niggles under control by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

When I got up yesterday, my ankle was far too sore, so I gave up on the idea of a run before work.  Within half an hour (typical!) it was feeling much better and I realised I could have done one.  It was far too late by then, though.

So I made a fixed plan to do that session today.  Again, when I woke up, I was in some pain, but it eased significantly by the time I was dressed and caffeinated and off I trotted.  All went pretty well, considering.  It's not the best half hour I've done, but it's far from the worst and I'm in no significant discomfort achilles-wise afterwards.

I'm still finding my breathing generally more of a problem than my muscles, but this will continue to improve the longer I can remain smokeless.  The planned session for today is just 10 minutes of easy running, which hardly seems worth bothering with and is the reason I did yesterday's instead.  I might go out and do it later, if I feel like it.

My weight has fallen sightly since last time I bothered checking and I'm about to take my body measurements again to see if there's any change going on.  I hope there will be, come the big day.  I'm more confident now about making to the start line, if not about flying around the course in an impressive fashion.
