Big balls. I'm not well and I've put on weight whilst back in England (no surprise).

Not feeling 100% so decided to do a long walk instead of running (approx 26km in 4hrs 20mins). With pack but not a heavy one.

20 press ups
90secs balancing
14 press ups
90secs balancing
3 press ups

It would seem I have lost a lot of upper body strength and endurance :(

Pathetic training volume this month so put my usual 7.3kg pack on and taught myself a lesson. Usual Flaten trail route (last ran Sat 7th Aug) but with 1km added on either side because I've moved...

1) 04:55 (steady warm-up)
2) 14:10
3) 09:10
4) 14:20

Quite happy with that, felt good. 4.5mins/km with a heavy pack sounds pretty good I reckon. Certainly not a flat course either. Anyway stopped there and rested for a couple of mins, then...

...warmed down over the last km.

John Cleese Underground hash #835 around Vallentuna (32). Good tonight - mostly off-road and an interesting trail kept all the victims together regardless of running ability. Felt alright, a bit wobbly, need to start stretching again.

Chilled out after the beer stop followed by a good circle, beers, sauna and pizza.
