Bonskeid. W21e.

Broken. Broken at the start, broken at the finish. No more being broken. I've been broken for more than a year now, and it is no fun at all. No more orienteering for me.

C • No more orienteering 8

Limping to the start.

Jok chasing sprint. Calf went on the way to 7, dropped out soon after when it became apparent that I couldn't run the rest of the he race at any pace at all, and certainly wouldn't be able to do the chase. V disheartening. I need to quit this sport. It is getting me down.

Run to the start. Tried to find somewhere to do my exercises. Failed. No pain here.

No exercises. Birthday treat (or birthday cocktails to blame).

Still ill. No lovely Craig aBarnes for me tonight. :-( Hopefully orienteering tomorrow.

Still off-work ill. Temp 37.6. They say you shouldn't go supermarket shopping when you are hungry, as you just buy junk. Well you shouldn't go when you are feeling feverish either, as you just buy lots of ice cream and ice lollies.

It's not looking good for the weekend really. The important question is how well do I have to be to run around Craig A'Barnes in the dark and beat Nick?

Ill. Off-work ill. Lying-in-bed ill. Watching-back-episodes-of-midsomer-murders ill. Not quite watching-homes-under-the-hammer ill, but close. Temp 37.2.

Exercises, while watching Hot Fuzz, my fave film ever.

Ill, ill, ill, so spending the afternoon reading the paper, eating peanut m&ms and doing this:

I hassled Hev into doing it too, despite her claiming to be too 'master maps' to know how it works.

I wasn't happy with my mid section to 6, but hey ho.

Got a new toy - digital thermometer. I am trying to work out when I am too ill to run. When I get ill with my ctd illness the most measurable symptom is feverishness. So I am seeing if my temperature changes too. 37.5 average today. I'll see if I can find out what normal is for me over the coming weeks.

Physio today. Extra exercises. More tape. Interesting chat. All good.
