600m (almost) in 30ish minutes

My leg is still sore today. Which is very frustrating. So rather than skipping today's 4 mile run and having a day off, I decided to skip today's 4 mile run and go swimming instead. I was much more focused this evening, and managed 24 lengths of crawl, and my breathing is getting much better, and much easier. It's odd to think how easy I find it now to swim face down in the pool, breathing out and not being able to breathe in for several strokes. The only downside is that I seemed to be getting water up my nose!

I went for a check-up at the JR today, and the doctor was pleased to tell me that there was nothing to worry about, my recent blood tests are still clear. Although I have PSC there's no indication that I have any symptoms, and there's every chance it will stay that way. I was weighed, as per the norm at the gastroenterology clinic. And they have me down as being only 89.8kg (2.8kg less than my GP did a couple of weeks ago!). That's more like it...

Back to the physio tomorrow, and back running asap. I really can't afford to drop too far behind in my training plan, otherwise I'll be overtaken in the marathon by a bloke in a diving suit!

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
