Change of plan today

Distance: 800m
Crawl: 32 lengths

I knew things were going too well on Monday. Yesterday morning the slight ache in my left achilles that I'd developed on Monday evening was worse, so it felt slightly uncomfortable to walk up and down stairs. It was a day off yesterday, so it got plenty of rest. I used ibuprofen gel on my ankle to alleviate the discomfort, and today it feels much better. However with only just over 4 weeks to go until the London Marathon, I decided not to chance the planned hard 6 mile run today and risk causing an injury, so it was off to the pool for some non-impact aerobics.

It was easy enough to notch up 32 lengths, so managed another half mile in under half an hour. And I even found a certificate in the locker entitling me to a prize (tbc), which could be a week's free gym at Faringdon leisure centre!

Off to yoga again this evening, only a couple of weeks of the course left now. I shall have to choose whether I want to keep it up after the marathon and enroll on another class.

Back to the running tomorrow...
