Hamstring (right) which I tweaked when nearly falling yesterday (stumbled & saved myself), was far too sore to contemplate SARUM Saunter. Iced It on sofa. Liz says it's possible a mini injury. Oh dear. Rest.

If I'd been more flexible, I'd have coped better with the stumble. Lessons to be learned.

BOK Saturday series, worlebury woods, Green. First time to Worlebury; may be my last . Grim slopes, undergrowth, and vague paths in green that kinked & wandered, coupled with a rather unfocussed / "lazy" attitude, dapply sunlight in the woods making seeing the pale orange controls rather tricky. Hamstring gave me jip after I stumbled & nearly fell over, saving myself but tweaking the leg in the process.

No 1 - in right -ish place, but not quite at the crag, on a nasty slope/mud / unmarked path... - map not very good here; no 6 - hard to see pale orange flags in dapply sunny woods, no 9 - sloppy leaving 8 and distracted by another runner; biggest cock up to 13 where there were so many paths, got on a "wrogn" one then struggled (with no help from another competitor, who was insisting we'd overshot - we hadn't, we'd undershot) to relocate, which eventually I did. Then missed path to last control - by which time I didn't care anymore. I've won the series, tho , I guess, and I am grateful to BOK volunteers & Phil Warry (series co-ordinator) for their efforts.

C • I did warn you! 1

TCA bouldering with Liz & Nellie. Good - not as wrecked as I'd feared I would be. Did two "purples".

Cycle 30 mins total - town & back.

Good day, bought a guitar too :)

Hard hard run, felt very fit & lithe, wore shorts, felt like I could keep accelerating up anything & get away with it. Pretty much did too, the uphill 800m at 8.5km taking just 3:06. Not sure if this is a record. It hurt.

Legs in so much pain later, I had to resort to beer & painkillers in evening. No Pain = no gain. But no running til Saturday now.

Convinced that this training works for me - decimate myself, then recover over 2-3 days.

Indoor climbing at RedPoint with Liz. Good sesh. Flashed 2 routes I "dogged" 2 weeks ago. Knew the moves, but even so.

Not a rest day.... :) well knackered at end (beer)
