a good week and then ..

Saturday 12th March was the end of a good running week 8miles Wednesday evening, 7.5Thursday and a long run of around 11 on Saturday - feeling ok , tired but ok , and feeling up for the Ironbridge 1/2marathon the following Sunday.
But then - i tried some DIY, lifting manhole covers in the garden and leaning in with hosepipe to try and clear a drain. Monday morning i could only roll out of bed , having strained something in my back. Thursday 17th and Friday 18th i atended the excellent Information Matstery Course - run By the National Prescribing Centre. My back was slowly easing during the week, and i should have been able to run , but by Thursday i was struck down with a cold which developed into a chest infection.
So i was a no show at the Telford/Ironbridge half mararthon.
Tuesday 22nd March saw me up before 6am this time to travel to cardiff.
Wednesday 0700 a gentle jog for about 2 miles along the river Taff- upstream past Sofia gardens (cricket?) then downstream to the wonderful Millenium Stadium and a short jog alongside it down ?river walk.

Today Good Friday- a short 4 k jog with Glynis then a 500metre hill sprint. More tomorrow Easter saturday.
