Birthday HuRTS

Blogger seems to know it's my birthday - there was a cake with a candle on it integrated into the Blogger symbol when I logged in. Big Brother is watching...

Woke up with breakfast in bed (bacon and egg roll followed by cake and interspersed with fizzy cola bottles and cherry gums) looking out on a beautiful Spring day. Wasn't going to miss a run today so popped two Voltaren which did wonders to my adductor strain (and bruised rib). Felt like a young man again, ironic given I'd just clocked over another year.

Session was 7 gate to gates (910m) off a rolling 5 mins. I'd intended just to jog around the back but was feeling good so put some effort in. Ran them all with Tim Cradock and new Triathlon Tim, with Tucks a good 10-15 seconds in front. Reps went 3:01; 2:58; 2:56; 2:58; 2:55; 3:00; 2:53. Plenty of stretching afterwards. 11km all up.

Nice session, beautiful day, Ribs and Rumps tonight, life's good.

Happy birthday Tom. Best present would be to heal miraculously and be free of all aches and pains for a year. Suppose that's probably a little too much to ask for.
All the best,
Jamie
