Running 55:00 [2] 11.0 km (5:00 / km) +250m 4:29 / km
slept:9.0

A proper run! The bum felt good after yesterday, and the sun was shining, so I set of on a loop from Jen's gran's place via the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Cawthorne, fully intending to walk if I needed to. No bother though, other than a mild sensation, which eased after about 35 mins. Chips to celebrate.

Decent, if short, session at the works. Getting stronger.

Note

Saw Kim for a diagnosis. Likely to be a hamstring tear in the tendon, which has hopefully settled now after such a long lay off. Should be OK to start a bit of gentle running again.

Got very wet.

slept:7.0

Well that was a rough week. Came down with a fever on Weds evening and spent the next two days in bed. Made it to the doc for a diagnosis of a urinry tract infection and some antibiotics. Missed Mike's wedding, hung out in a cold field at the FRA and had a relapse, canned the compass sport cup and got better instead. Pretty much there now. Came out of nowhere and knocked me for six, bit of a strange one.

Running 45:00 [2] 9.0 km (5:00 / km)

Lovely run up to Parkwood Springs for the first time in ages. I love it up there!

Started feeling ropey soon after and deteriorated through the evening. Feverish by the time I got home.

Tuesday Oct 13, 2015 #

7 AM

Cycling 55:00 +350m
slept:8.5

IW via Ringinglow, Lodge Lane, Stannington, Walkley. Cold and breezy but a nice start to the day once I had dragged myself out of bed. Not many more chances to do this without starting in the proper dark, as it was I needed my lights for the first 30 mins.

7 PM

Climbing 1:00:00 [1]

First climbing session for ages. It was a struggle.

Monday Oct 12, 2015 #

Running 38:30 [2] 7.3 km (5:16 / km) +110m 4:54 / km
slept:8.5

IW, bum not as sore, but lower back and hip flexors stiff and taking the strain so something is still not right.

4 PM

Running 19:00 [3] 4.1 km (4:38 / km) +120m 4:03 / km

HFW.

Note

No training. Letting the bum settle and too much DIY to do.

7 AM

Cycling 1:35:00 +600m
slept:8.5

Nice morning ride out to Owler Bar, round Ramsley, down to Curber, back via Grindleford and Fox House. Gorgeous morning with low-lying mist hanging in all the hollows and a spectacular sunrise over the moors. The temperature dropped by about 5 degrees every time I plunged into the mist, got quite chilly along the valley to Grindleford.

Running 28:00 [2] 5.6 km (5:00 / km) +90m 4:38 / km
slept:8.5

IW, gingerly as my bum was quite sore still. It seemed to ease off a bit after about 20 mins though, but various other aches and pains in the area to replace it. Hmmm.

4 PM

Running 20:00 [2] 3.6 km (5:33 / km)

Slow and sore HFW.

Cycling 1:17:00 +400m
slept:8.0

Finally managed to drag myself out of bed for an early ride (helped by the beautiful morning). Out to Fox House, Hathersage, Ringlinglow, Lodge Moor. Broke myself on the climb up to Higger and had jelly legs for the rest of the ride.

IW, HFW.

12 PM

Running 17:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:40 / km)

Tried a bit of jogging to test the bum. It was sore (felt bruised) but bearable and (I think) a little better for this. Hoping that getting it working again will help it to settle now.

Cycling 59:00 +250m
slept:8.5

IW via Ringlinglow in heavy rain. Really needed that after a few days of virtual inactivity, felt like Lear raging against the storm. Took me a hot shower, bowl of porridge, coffee and a fan heater to warm up when I got to the office. HFW.

Running 25:00 [1] 3.6 km (6:57 / km)
slept:8.5 (injured)

The bum had settled a bit and I foolishly thought that some gentle exercise might help matters (still in the back of my mind that Sunday might be possible. Idiot). Tried a very slow jog HFW, but it was pretty much impossible to run. It very soon became a hobble/walk/hobble/walk debacle.

Cycling 59:00 +250m
slept:8.5 (injured)

IW via Ringinglow. Tentatively tried a jog at lunchtime, but I literally could not stride out far enough to do it, felt like I was being booted up the arse every time I tried to bring my knee forward.
