Last swimming lesson

I had my last lesson of my swimming improvement course at tfd today. Now I'll have a few weeks break from lessons, but will carry on swimming on a Monday to keep practising all I've learnt. I've come on in leaps and bounds (or is that strokes and glides?) since I started six weeks ago, and my crawl has improved loads. I've even (just about) got breaststroke right. Almost. When I think of Charlie Chaplin - I can turn my feet out. Once I've got better, I'll be going back for a three week stroke development course to fine tune my swimming. Hey - you never know I may be up for a triathlon next! I'll also be spending a few weeks in the gym to tone up my body in preparation for the marathon.

Out tomorrow night, so I'm swapping this week's 6 mile run for a 4 mile one, and will be off for 6 miles on Friday evening instead (after my physio). 12 miles planned for Sunday...

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
