Drove up to Portland on Friday night and had another delicious meal at Central Provisions. Then a day getting back to Boston with Rob's whole family, and a day with just Rob and his parents on Sunday. A walk in the Fells which was sunny at last, and a lot of repotting houseplants and putting some herbs in containers that hopefully won't all die right away this year. Busy weekend but I still felt more tired than I should have at the end. Ho hum. I am getting weighty.

This stupid cold is stupid. I'm still not fully shaking it and exercise does seem to make it worse.

Strength session Block 2, session 2, week 1. This is a bit more fun than block 1, which is really about learning to lift weights if you've never done it before.

Everything around my hips is tight, so I've been doing the split squats with light weight and really focussing on trying to get those right angles - a stretch really, rather than a lift. It's actually quite hard.

Run towards work. Got to get coffee at Winter Hill brewing, which helped me get out of the door. Feeling better than yesterday, still not 100%.

Back to Block 2, week 1. Kept the weights very light as I was feeling a little wobbly down there.

I'm sitting at my desk waiting for calls of panic from Grants and Contracts as we get our grant application budget removed...so I thought it was time to update my training diary! It's Marathon Day in Boston and the weather is utterly foul. I have been sick for almost two weeks now, but after spending a lot of Sunday horizontal, am feeling much better. I think I did get Zan's nasty bug after all, it just came in two distinct phases.

This was a shuffle with a very heavy bag in the cold and wind. My lungs are still a little tight, but generally better than they felt last week. Yet to have a major coughing fit today, which would be the first day that has happened in a while!
