Several hundred metres in half an hour

I completely lost count in the pool today. I started off with a few breaststroke, my feet (esp the left one) obstinately refusing to turn outwards to kick properly. Will it ever come right? Then a few crawl, where I kind of got the breathing about right, but found it easier to breath every 4th stroke, when I'm supposed to be able to glide further and only breath every 6 to 8 strokes. Another breaststroke length then a couple of crawl, then alternating between the two to finish. 16 lengths? I don't think it was 20. Lets say it was 18 and then I would have done 450m in total. I couldn't quite get the hang of the goggles either, they kept steaming up! Didcot pool is very warm, I'd highly recommend it!

Back to the run tomorrow, a short "speed" workout. Well, that's the plan...

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
