Getting better

Well my breaststroke is improving, slowly. I can almost turn my feet out, but it takes a lot of concentration, and I can only really get it just about right if all I'm thinking about is my feet. The downside of that is that I still need to remember to breathe... once I finally get the hang of it, and it all comes together naturally, then I should be able to have a reasonable kick. I'm never going to be great at breaststoke though, as my feet simply don't want to point out sideways.

My crawl is improving greatly, I just need to practise more, and get it all together in smoother movements.

Last lesson (for now) next week, then plenty more practise and then I can go back for some stroke improvement classes.

Running tomorrow, a 5 miler.

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
