A recovery run this evening. How gentle should that be? Let's see - half an hour, so I shall head out on my 2 mile out and back run from work, and then carry on on a lap of Milton Park to make the time up. Ok, in my head 30 minutes simply equates to 3 miles. I guess I should try to take it even easier than that, but it's just so hard to run any slower on such a short run. So 3 miles it is, and my pace couldn't have been an awful lot more consistent.

Then I had my postponed sports massage. I'd thought of cancelling, since my legs felt so much better than usual today. But then again, for the next couple of weeks whilst my training is at its peak, I do really want the extra help it gives to my recovery. And I'm glad I kept the appointment, as the sport therapist managed to hurt me quite a bit, much more than the last couple of times. So it turns out that my calves, and even my hamstrings (normally quite supple) were in fact quite stiff and needed some deep pummelling to sort them out!

In other good news today - I found out that my "Everybody's Free (to wear Vaseline)" video was awarded a runner's up prize in the Just Giving competition. The winner was Sir Jog A Lot, which is only fair as his was much funnier than mine! Still another £15 towards my sponsorship total was most welcome.
