Day 45 - Tuesday 27th July: 1k swim

Distance: 1km
Crawl: 40 lengths

Another good session in the pool. It was quite busy this evening, but I stuck to the "fast lane", alternately being overtaken and overtaking other swimmers. There were about 5 of us at one point - and I was the slowest. Two girls steadily swam back & forth without stopping, so overtook me every 4-5 lengths. Two blokes who were obviously faster than me stopped every two lengths for a huge breather. I guess they were timing themselves against the pool clock, and had to keep waiting for the next minute to clock up before setting off again.

Overall though, it was good - as I made the 40 lengths in about 35 minutes.

Then when I got home and my pasta-egg-mayo-noodles&peas was cooking, I did 70 crunches as part of a new daily plan to do 60-100 sit-ups - called "abs of steel" (thanks to @Sall_y on twitter).

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
