Isle of Wight cycling with Nicole. Ferry over to Yarmouth, then various short jumps to Freshwater Bay, the Piano cafe, the Needles, Totland and Fort Victoria Country Park. A fun day out exploring, nice weather and the bikes worked well. Felt knackered on the hills, though somehow still faster than Nicole.

Cycle to Fleming Park

Eastleigh parkrun for my 98th
Hadn't known what to do today but didn't really fancy doing Southampton. So thought I would go back to what I may have done previously and cycled over to Fleming Park for Eastleigh. Fortunately saw a few people I know and ran most of the way with Andrew Lewis chatting about the Lakes.

Cycle home from Fleming Park

Morning Forest run with Shaun from Brook into King's Garn
Left foot inside bit a bit sore, had that couple of times. Will check wear on shoes. Legs quite achey and tired and back also quite tired. A new area to run from, pretty good with a bit on the golf course beginning and end.

Recovery jog around Shirley
Right hamstring has felt a little tight and left calf. Legs quite tired after yesterday. A bit of an explore, nice time to run

Portsmouth Lakeside 5km
Not raced or really trained properly since May time. Decided to take the summer a bit easier and not pressure. Had some fatigue in July which is being investigated. Plan was to support at least but thought I would pack my kit and run if i wanted to. Entered and didn't really had much expectation, said before I could be 1 2 3 or 4 mins down on my time here from 2 years ago. Set off and tried not to start too fast, Mark, Nicole and Jonathan went past and Minna caught me up. Thought she would be good to run with so settled in for a lap with her. She then pushed on and I tried my best to keep working, overtook Mark and just tried to keep going. First 3 km splits pretty event 3:50s, then a 4 then a 3:45 to finish. Legs very tight after and a few twinges of cramp. Fairly happy with what I did off not much training!
