Short sharp shock

Short sharp shock by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details

Just a little 20-minuter today.  Which was nice.  Given that I had to fit it in around getting the car some new shoes (£600!!! I might as well have a girlfriend, for god's sake!!!!!), the usual Saturday chores and generally feeling all old, tired and decrepit.

It went OK and I stuck to my stated aim of setting myself pace targets and keeping to them.  I'm really, really hoping to try to keep this pace up for a proper long run - tomorrow's is 90 minutes and we'll see how it goes.

I've also looked online to see what the advice is on the achilles pain I'm having.  Apparently, tendinitis is no longer accepted as a valid complaint, there often being no inflammation involved.  It's all about the stretching, some massaging and, if I'm feeling very brave, some icing.  So that's what I'm doing.  I cannot afford 12 weeks of rest for it to resolve itself at its own pace!!!!!!!!!!!  (This is the advice if what I'm doing doesn't work.)

Carbing up today in preparation and hoping, even if the sun doesn't come out, that the wind sods off.
