Round the Park

Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2366792
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 40 Minutes
Comments: Really cold this morning, clear skies and almost icy. I was too cold and far to bored to do the usual route so I ran around the park instead of going across the river to Chealsea Embankment.

The new running style is staring to feel a bit more normal. I am just finding it difficult to run at a slower pace with it. However this may be the point

Keep Trying

Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2217235
Distance: 3.5 miles
Time: 35 minutes
Comments: I am finding this difficult but I am going to stick with it as I am sure that it will feel better.

I am just pleased to have got out twice this week as I am meeting my dad tonight to go too the RAH to see John Scott play the organ. Giles is staying on Thursday and I am then off too Newcastle on Friday to record with the band

New Technique

Route: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2217235
Distance: 3.5 miles
Time: 35 minutes
Comments: Usual route but unusual style. Having read some of the Rough Guide to Running I have adjusted my running style

I think I have basically been over striding, a lot, in order to try to gain more speed. Now however, I am concentrating on my push off and increasing my turn over of steps, whilst also trying to make my running action more like I am cycling

This was all hard work and took a lot of concentration, not much fun, and my legs are aching

Tennis - Not so good

G & I were back on the courts this morning.

It was good fun but we were rubbish. We knocked up a bit and then played a set. Neither of us could hold serve. When it got to 6 - 5, G was the winner.

It's been a while

Well that's what happens when you come back from holiday, to much work and not enough play!!

Still, played tennis with G tonight in Battersea Park tonight, a new experience. Tennis under flood lights, and I won!!

Really good work out we were both exhausted.
