Just a quick one

I woke up following yesterdays half marathon feeling a bit tender in my Sartorius (upper inner thigh) and had a slight twinge in my left ankle but felt ok otherwise.

I was a bit stiff getting around but the advice of some friends and reading up on this has helped.

I had an easy start to the day (booked the day off) and after breakfast headed out for a 10 – 15 minute run.

Don’t worry I am not mad – this wasn’t any strenuous – it was simply a way to ensure that the muscles I used yesterday got some heat and blood pumping back into then.  I felt ok with this leisurely jog but I was sweating like a loon when I got back.

Afterwards I had a soak in a cool bath before getting on with the rest of my day.

This will be the last run with my current Garmin Forerunner 210 as it has been playing up for a while (and I only got it in June).  Basically the damn thing refuses to switch off.  It takes several attempts before it manages to successfully.

I wrote to Garmin and there must be a known error as there was no quibble (after confirming my watch was less than a year old) and today they have sent me details to send my watch back for a new device to be sent to me.

At least it held up for yesterday’s race around the Royal Parks 🙂
