maybe swimming might be a gentle way of starting ? I find it good with my various aches and pains 

Had thought of that but I'm a very, very weak swimmer. Maybe it's time I got the lessons I've always said I would.

Start small and work up … I started at 5 lengths … I’m now at 75 … and that would be over 100 if I wasn’t time restricted and I was far from a strong swimmer

Made me chuckle...

Starting to up the level of contact in training now. Got a lovely (unintentional) headbutt right behind the ear during a rucking drill.

Weirdly it turns out that I've missed that slightly dazed moment 😄

(note: very definitely not concussion concern btw)

Thanks dude. It's mostly the reason i haven't been on here much - got completely obsessed with running. Have spent the last 3 weeks eating ALL THE FOOD!

I’ve had a bit of a break from running due to pain in my right leg which I think is shin splints. Went for a run Monday night and was sore but okay afterwards. Went again last night and pushed the distance a bit, pain is back and worse … oh dear.

[Superscally]

Debating running to Glasto next weekend. Discuss. 😀

Haven't posted much recently, fitness has been on the back burner, having a bit of crap time but really glad to see people are still working out and doing it successfully.

Had my first go on an ambulance yesterday. Feel during football and got a knee to the back of the head from a sprinting teammate, ended up with seven staples and missed the first half of the Portugal Germany match! Must say, the ambulance crew and hospital staff were all super-lovely.

Gradually gathering the bravery. Wondering if could raise a few pennies for Oxfam, seeing as the festival isn't on. It's likely, if I don't have a reaction from my runs today and tomorrow...

9 miles ticked off today. Felt pretty good.

15 weeks to go.
