31st January, 6.21 miles, 56 min 57 s


At the start of this year, I'd decided to ban myself from playing squash and football, to reduce the likelihood of injuring myself before the "big day".

However, on Saturday I fancied a high-intensity work-out, so had an intense game of squash with one of my best friends, Sean.

The game was great - was a bit rusty at first, but once I'd got back into the swing of things, I was back into "headless chicken" mode.

The next day was not so great. My hamstrings were particularly sore, and was walking like a robot.

After an afternoon spent playing French Horn in a local Nonette group, I did a 6 mile time-trial.

According to the schedule this was to be completed in under 55 minutes. By my reckoning, I was maybe 30 seconds outside this - but might dig deeper into the stats from my GPS to see whether I achieved it or not!

Regardless - I'm now aching even more today. So glad of a rest day.
